It was before six pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting for the sixth call to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Fengate and put petrol in her diesel friend's Peugeot 407 lease car. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to find the woman quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel can result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Tales from our Fengate staff:

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Fengate

I am not necessarily overly keen on doing work on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just left home after eating a magnificent dinner prepared for me by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a guy after he put the incorrect fuel in his bright white Honda CR-V. He was located in Fengate and so I arrived there before long. As I arrived behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on stuff and didn't perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I inflicted any kind of harm simply by driving it?" I revealed truth be told there shouldn't be damage and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained immediately. As expected I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and yet another content motorist could carry on with their journey without the difficulty. He did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what tends to make earning a living on weekends in Norfolk just a tiny bit better for me!

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.
