It was just after six pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were seated there talking about the recent sports results, waiting for the next telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Horringer and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel maroon VW Jetta hire car in error. The poor thing was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and less stressed. A job in Suffolk well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Horringer

I am not necessarily very interested in running Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd only just departed home filled with a magnificent roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a guy who filled the wrong petrol in his pristine Mitsubishi Diamante. He was located in Horringer thus it wasn't long before I arrived with him. As I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my attention on other considerations and didn't ascertain I had put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on any kind of damage by driving it?" I revealed truth be told there shouldn't be problems and that I would remove the wrong fuel as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I drained the fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and another pleased customer was able to carry on with his journey without the difficulty. He did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Suffolk just that little bit better for me!

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was about 3 in the morning and noone was around. It had been pretty uneventful so far, and Ryan and I were sitting perusing a number of old newspapers. This was an unusual peaceful moment in Suffolk. Actually it was so peaceful that the moment the telephone rang it made me jump! The motorist told me: "I have just ended my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a beautiful Toyota Prius". We asked him to inform us exactly where he was and we headed out, arriving in Horringer an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the engine and he said thank you for getting there so rapidly. As we were heading back home we saw two ladies on the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. So we got out to change it, much to their elation.

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.
