It was just after 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated discussing the recent football rankings, ready for the 6th call that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Beachamwell and put petrol in a diesel grey Daewoo Lanos hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the car into a protected position and, because it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to reach the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it if you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical composed of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually harmful to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the AdBlue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Any time you find yourself in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the practical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE37 Postcode - Beachamwell Misfueling

A lady had broken down on a road, Beachamwell having just misfueled. She was sobbing and really troubled as she had put £45 petrol in her diesel car.

I enjoyed a wonderful day cycling on the weekend and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I was en route to aid a new family vacationing in Beachamwell. They had stopped after adding diesel into their rugged Seat, and were around half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and smirked while I heard to the girl telling off her man for turning out to be so silly. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Norfolk and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, however he still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate boy. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Beachamwell

Now I'm not ever excessively enthusiastic about working on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just come away from home after a lovely Sunday roast cooked for us by the better half, and I was off to help a guy after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his light blue Cadillac Fleetwood. He was located in Beachamwell hence it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I pulled up at the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on something else and didn't realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any harm by starting it?" I explained there should not be damage and also that I'd get the fuel drained immediately. Obviously I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and so yet another contented customer could continue his journey without difficulty. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that tends to make operating on weekends in Norfolk just that little bit less painful in my opinion!

This really was the night shift. It was close to 3:30am and almost noone was stirring. It had become fairly uneventful so far, and me and Paul were relaxing looking through a couple of old papers. It was an uncommon calm hour in Norfolk. It was indeed so quiet that when the telephone eventually rang I jumped! The motorist on the opposite end explained: "I have concluded my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the partner's Audi A5 in error". I got him to inform us where exactly he was and we hit the road, getting to him in Beachamwell half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the car and he said thank you for coming out so quickly. While we were going back to the depot we spotted two young women at the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a puncture. Accordingly we stopped and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
