It was just before 8 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there going over the recent footy results, at the ready for the next call that day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Great Welnetham and put petrol in her diesel metallic yellow Audi A8 hire car. She was quite agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank will likely trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations rather expediently.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

What a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Wednesday and I was on the way to help an old lady who had put petrol in her diesel modern Chevrolet Malibu in Great Welnetham. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a rural lane en route to see her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel as I'd only bought it a couple of days ago after my other one, which I had for about thirty years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Suffolk lady!

It must be horrible conking out in a automobile running on the wrong fuel halfway down the road. Our last customer who filled her car with the wrong fuel (mustard yellow Volvo S70) in Great Welnetham suffered with precisely this kind of difficulty: "Your technician helped me remove my vehicle from the live lane.

A woman from Great Welnetham with a full car of children in her diesel maroon Peugeot 207 had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Shell filling station. She called us crying and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that the vehicle should be alright and that she would be in action very quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the kids on board."

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.
