It was close to six pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting commenting on the weekend's footy, waiting for the next job for the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Thurlton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel beautiful Peugeot Bipper lease car. The poor thing was pretty troubled apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to get the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from us, we could find the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases quite expediently.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Thurlton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They are also able to deal with the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Saturday and we were en route to help an old lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel cobalt blue Nissan Armada in Thurlton. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a country lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel because I'd only purchased it a short while ago right after my old one, which I'd owned for over 25 years, finally stopped working". I got the job completed and she presented me a toffee and said thank you. What a delightful Norfolk lady!

I had enjoyed a great day hiking on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following working day as I was on the way to help a young family who were vacationing in Thurlton. They had broken down after filling petrol in their elegant Honda Civic GX, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smirked as I listened to the woman telling her man off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this problem comes to pass constantly in Norfolk and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he yet still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I waved bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

We supply you with clean fuel at petrol station cost, and we are able to generally have your vehicle fixed and in a position to head out in less than an hour or so.

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.
