The unfortunate lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and I was on the way to assist an old woman who had put petrol in her diesel friend's Mercedes SLK55 AMG in Brockley. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural lane on route to see her family. I punched her location straight into the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I'd just acquired it a few days ago because my other one, which I used for about 30 years, eventually died on me". I completed the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Suffolk lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Brockley

I'm not actually overly hot for working weekends, and the other day was no different. I'd just left home after having a superb lunch prepared for me by the wife, and I was en route to help a guy who had put the wrong fuel in his green Volvo V40. He was only in Brockley so I was there almost immediately. As I drove up at the car and stepped out he told me "Praise God! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and did not grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any problems simply by running it?" I explained that there probably should not be problems and that also I would personally get the fuel drained immediately for him. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and so one more happy motorist had the ability to continue his ride without any difficulty. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes earning a living on weekends in Suffolk just that small bit less painful for me!

This was the graveyard shift. It was about 3am and almost noone was about. It had been rather uneventful thus far, and me and Brian were loafing about reading through a few old newspapers. This was a rare quiet hour in Suffolk. It was indeed that tranquil that when the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The customer told me: "I've just completed my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in my precious Mercedes-Benz E-Class in error". I got him to let us know where he was and we set off, ending up in Brockley no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he said thanks a lot for arriving so fast. While we were going back to the office we saw two girls at the side of the road who seemed like they had a flat tyre. So we got out to help them 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.
