It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were seated talking over the footy results, waiting around for the 6th call of the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Thrapston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red Dodge Sprinter hire car in error. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this can happen. She managed to get the car into a protected position and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. A job in Northamptonshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in the event that you’ve put AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made from a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be squirted into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing devastating and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Should you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the technical skills and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NN14 Postcode - Thrapston Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Monday and we were off to assist an elder lady after she had put petrol in her diesel teal Daewoo Lanos in Thrapston. I had been told she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down on a country road en route to see her grandchildren. I punched her location in the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour. I reached the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I have been becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only got it a couple of days back because my old car, which I had used for about thirty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job completed and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. What a delightful Northamptonshire lady!

A motorist working in Thrapston called us after she tried to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel daughter's Land Rover Range Rover Classic and, like plenty before her, imagined that she would be able to basically top up the car with diesel and it'd be fine. The car was spluttering and then it stopped when she arrived at the the front of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved in an hour while she was at work. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm really delighted you repaired 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 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.
