It was just after 5 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the weekend's footy, at the ready for the 6th job to come in. Finally we had a call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Saltfleetby St Peter and put petrol in her diesel mom's Honda Civic rental by mistake. She was somewhat affected it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination
In Lincolnshire we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not being totally sure the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.
Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?
Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.
In case you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical competence and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Saltfleetby St Peter - Fuel Rescue Saltfleetby St Peter
This really was what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to 2 in the morning and noone was about. It had been rather quiet until now, and John and I were loafing around reading some old magazines. This was a rare quiet time in Lincolnshire. It was indeed that calm that when the phone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist said: "I have just ended my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in the raspberry red Audi A3 by mistake". I got him to inform us where exactly he was and we headed out, getting to him in Saltfleetby St Peter only an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he said thanks for getting there so quickly. As we were heading back to the depot we spotted two young ladies at the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, much to their elation.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
