It was just before 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were resting talking over the tennis results, prepared for the 6th call of the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Colby and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel customised Jaguar XF rental car. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was only a short distance away from the office, we could get to the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and less worried. A misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations quite expediently.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container laying in the back of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NR11 Postcode - Colby Misfueling

What a quality night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and we were on my way to help an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel mint green Mercedes SL-Class in Colby. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and was stranded on a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I arrived at the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she explained, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only just acquired it a week ago right after my former car, which I used for about 25 years, finally died on me". I got the drain done and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Norfolk woman!

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had become pretty quiet up to now, and me and Ray were relaxing looking at a couple of old magazines. It was a rare quiet hour in Norfolk. It was so calm that when the telephone rang I jumped with surprise! The customer told me: "I've concluded my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a maroon BMW X5". I told him to let us know just where he was and we headed out, getting to him in Colby no more than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the motor and he thanked us profusely for showing up so quickly. While we were heading back to the depot we noticed two young women on the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we got out to change it, much to their delight.

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.
