It was just before 10 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated there discussing the recent sports rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Ringstead and filled petrol in her diesel clean white Kia Spectra5 rental car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in Northamptonshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do in the event that you’ve put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is composed of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

Whenever you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised skills and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NN14 Postcode - Ringstead Misfueling

What a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Bank Holiday Monday and I was on my way to help an old woman after she put petrol in her diesel winter grey Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG in Ringstead. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up on a rural road on route to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I reached the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I had only just purchased it a few days ago after my other car, which I had had for in excess of 25 years, eventually died on me". I completed the job and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a delightful Northamptonshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Ringstead - Wrong Fuel in Car Ringstead

I'd had a perfect day cycling during the weekend and felt pleased the following day as I set off to assist a new couple on holiday in Ringstead. They pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their baby blue Bentley Continental, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for being so confused. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this occurs on daily basis in Northamptonshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed so long and considered what my missus would ask me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would personally never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ringstead

We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval exercise near a lovely house in Ringstead not so long ago. "I had put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and managed to more or less get home when my car stopped." Our specialist went out, even though it was pretty late at night, and performed a thorough fuel drain and cleanse on the precious Mercedes Sprinter .

Wrong Fuel Doctor Ringstead - Fuel Rescue Ringstead

A driver who had unfortunately put the wrong fuel in his diesel light green Mitsubishi Pajero contacted us for help at the Shell filling station in Ringstead. He thought it would be good to fill up before proceeding on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded instead of diesel which probably wasn't a wonderful beginning to our vacation." It was really no trouble by any means for our engineer to go and do the fuel drain. We hope the family enjoyed their holiday.

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 VAT 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.
