It was close to 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were resting there discussing the golf, prepared for the seventh job that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Chelsworth and filled petrol in a diesel maroon Land Rover Defender 90 rental car. She was quite distressed it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was only a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations quite expediently.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IP7 Postcode - Chelsworth Misfueling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and I was on my way to assist an old lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel raspberry red Smart Car in Chelsworth. I'd been told she had left the filling station and broken down on a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she said, "I am becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I had only just acquired it a week ago right after my previous car, which I'd owned for in excess of 25 years, eventually broke down". I finished the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely Suffolk lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Chelsworth

Now I'm not actually too inclined to working weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd only just departed home filled with a wonderful roast cooked by the missus, and I was off to deal with a man because he put the incorrect fuel in his dark blue BMW 530. He was somewhere in Chelsworth thus it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on something else and did not grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on some harm by running it?" I revealed that generally there probably should not be damage and that I'd drain the wrong fuel at once. Naturally I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and thus another satisfied customer had the ability to continue on their traveling without any subsequent bother. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what helps make operating on Sundays in Suffolk just that tiny bit easier for me personally!

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.
