It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the seventh call of the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Skeldyke and put petrol in a diesel teal Kia Sportage rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was living at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases very easily.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE20 Postcode - Skeldyke Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Sunday and we were on my way to help an elder sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel baby blue Volvo V90 in Skeldyke. I had been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and pulled up along a rural road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only just acquired it a couple of days ago after my other one, which I'd used for about 25 years, finally broke down". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Lincolnshire woman!

We not too long ago got a call about a young man who had put the incorrect fuel in his metallic yellow Ford Transit in Skeldyke. He had broken down on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't realize the issue until I stopped working. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and got it working again. I was impressed with both your speed and your charges". Of course we were on-scene rapidly and purged the engine after flushing all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank.

A young lady living in Skeldyke called us shortly after she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel spotless Audi S8 and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she would be able to simply fill up her tank with diesel and it'd be fine. The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she came to the entrance of her office. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed within an hour while she was in the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm really relieved you sorted my car."

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.
