It was after 6 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the recent footy results, prepared for the 8th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Hales and filled petrol in a diesel beautiful Land Rover Defender 110 lease car by mistake. She was quite troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could arrive at the woman right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and not so concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases fairly expediently.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NR14 Postcode - Hales Misfueling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Tuesday and I was en route to help an elder sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel navy blue Ford Ranger in Hales. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up in a backwater road on route to see her godchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she told me, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it several days back when my former car, which I'd owned for about 30 years, inevitably died on me". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. What a precious Norfolk lady!

We fairly recently got a call from a guy who had put the wrong fuel in his well worn Daewoo Lanos in Hales. He had broken down on the street. "After adding petrol in my diesel car I didn't discover the predicament up until the time we stopped working. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it working once again. I was impressed with both your call-out time and your pricing". Obviously we appeared punctually and flushed the engine after draining all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank.

A customer from Hales with her little ones in her diesel navy blue BMW 1 Series had put £50 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She contacted us sobbing and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle . We told her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the little ones in the back."

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.
