It was just after 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting there talking about the recent football rankings, at the ready for the next call that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Chilton Street and filled petrol in a diesel bright red Renault Twingo rental car by mistake. She was fairly troubled apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from our van, we could reach her almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more job in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel will often contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CO10 Postcode - Chilton Street Misfueling

A rather alarmed driver called us from the BP petrol station at Suffolk to advise us that he had put unleaded in to his diesel cream Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class; he wasn't quite sure how he'd managed to do it. We advised him it was absolutely no situation and soon had our man with him to clean the incorrect fuel from his tank. Having taken away the contaminated fuel, he was subsequently back driving. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the technician who came out to carry out the fuel drain was really excellent - he didn't make me seem ridiculous."

Therefore, in the event that you have filled your petrol car with diesel, or the wrong fuel in your diesel motor vehicle anywhere in Suffolk, speak to us right away. Our competent technicians are all set for your call.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chilton Street - Wrong Fuel in Car Chilton Street

I had enjoyed a terrific evening fishing on my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next day as I set out to assist a young couple away in Chilton Street. They pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel in their navy blue Nissan Murano, and the car was around half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this situation happens all the time in Suffolk and that it's in reality nothing at all to worry about, even so he still had an ear bashing. Poor guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

A young lady driving in Chilton Street contacted us as soon as she managed to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel modern Mazda B2600 and, like plenty before her, assumed that she would be able to just top up the car with diesel and it would be okay. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she got to the the front of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved within an hour whilst she was at the office. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely delighted you repaired my vehicle."

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.
