If ever you have put petrol in a diesel car in Port Sutton Bridge we most certainly are the people you will have to get in touch with. We cover the entirety of the Port Sutton Bridge area and all adjoining locations.

It was about eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Port Sutton Bridge and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel beloved Citron DS5 lease car. She was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was only a few minutes from us, we could find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Lincolnshire we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Whenever you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the practical competence and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Port Sutton Bridge

Now I am not necessarily that keen on doing the job on Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd just left the wife and kids following a magnificent roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on the way to deal with a guy after he filled the wrong petrol in his raspberry red Mercedes Sprinter 3500. He was only in Port Sutton Bridge and so it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and got out he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I had my concentration on other considerations and failed to grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought on some damage by running it?" I explained that there should not be any kind of problems and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then yet another pleased motorist had the ability to continue their ride without bother. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make working on weekends in Lincolnshire that little better for me personally!

A customer from Port Sutton Bridge with her children in her diesel aunt's Chrysler PT Cruiser had filled her car with £45 of petrol at the Co Op station.

We reassured her that all should be fine and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived she was still upset but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the little ones in the back."

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
