It was just after 10 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's golf, ready for the 8th call that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Aslacton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel aunt's Cadillac DTS lease car in error. The poor thing was pretty troubled apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected spot and, since it was just a few miles from where we were, we could find the customer right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and less concerned. Yet another job in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will often produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases fairly expediently.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NR15 Postcode - Aslacton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and I was off to help an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel winter grey Audi 4000CS Quattro in Aslacton. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station and pulled up in a rural lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I punched the location straight into the Satnav and was with her within an hour. I turned up at the destination and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "Now I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I'd only got it several days back when my former one, which I had had for about 30 years, eventually died on me". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Norfolk woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Aslacton

No one likes being stuck in a automobile filled with the wrong fuel halfway down the road. Recently a customer who filled her diesel car with petrol (khaki green Mitsubishi 3000GT) in Aslacton suffered literally that kind of problem: "Your engineer moved my car from the road. He had it drained and had it going once more after only thirty minutes. Couldn't recommend you more."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Aslacton - Fuel Rescue Aslacton

A motorist driving in Aslacton contacted us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel brother's Hyundai Genesis Coupe and, like plenty prior to her, thought that she would be able to simply fill up the car with diesel and it'd be no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she reached the entrance of her work. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved within 60 minutes whilst she was in the office. She came out soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely relieved you fixed 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.
