Before long we received the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Toftrees and filled petrol in a diesel son's Nissan Maxima rental in error. She was very troubled it seemed, crying "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!"

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel is going to cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases quite expediently.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Toftrees

I am certainly not that hot for carrying out work weekends, and a while back was the same. I'd just come away from the wife and kids filled with a fantastic lunch prepared for me by the wife, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow because he put the wrong petrol in his yellow Land Rover. He was situated in Toftrees and so it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. As I drove up at the rear of the car and started work he told me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my thoughts on other things and did not ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on any kind of problems by starting it?" I said there probably should not be any problems and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained immediately for him. Needless to say I drained the fuel from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and another pleased client could carry on with his ride without the difficulty. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Norfolk that little bit easier 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.
