It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were sitting discussing the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Anchor Street and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mum's Toyota MR2 rental by mistake. The poor lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to move the car into a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and not so concerned. A misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a rainy Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an old lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel expensive Toyota Solara in Anchor Street. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up along a rural lane en route to visit her godchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only just bought it a few days ago because my old car, which I'd used for over twenty five years, eventually died". I got the job completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Norfolk woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Anchor Street

I'm not necessarily very interested in running weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from the wife and kids filled with a fantastic lunch made for me by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a gentleman who had put the incorrect petrol in his well worn Toyota Sequoia. He was located in Anchor Street so it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I drove up right behind the car and stepped out he told me "Praise God! I incredibly had my concentration on other things and failed to realise I've put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about any kind of harm because of running it?" I explained that there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained right away. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with the suitable fuel, and thus yet another satisfied customer was able to continue on their journey with no hassle. The man could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Norfolk just a little bit easier to me!

A man phoned us from his boss' Nissan where he had ground to a halt on the congested street. "I foolishly put petrol in my diesel car and I soon realised it a couple of miles down the road!" Fortuitously we were in a position to have an fuel drainer out to him in a rather quick time, taking into account the congestion, and he was shortly back behind the wheel.

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.
