It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there talking over the footy results, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Lambley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel aunt's VW GLI rental car. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, since it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was living in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Northumberland done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Northumberland we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely don't turn over the car - not even to move it into a parking place. In case you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Any time you find yourself in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Tales from our own Lambley personnel:

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car Lambley

Imagine conking out in a automobile contaminated with the incorrect fuel in the middle of the street. One of our last customers who filled her car with the wrong fuel (mate's Vauxhall Combo) in Lambley ran into literally that type of issue: "Your technician got my motor from the live lane. He removed the wrong fuel from it and had it working within thirty-five minutes. Highly recommended."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lambley - Fuel Rescue Lambley

A customer driving in Lambley phoned us shortly after she tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had filled petrol in her diesel raspberry red Peugeot 508 and, like many before her, assumed that she would be able to basically top up the tank with diesel and it'd be no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she came to the entrance of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired in 60 minutes while she was at work. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm very relieved you repaired my vehicle."

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.
