It was before 5 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were sitting there talking about the recent rugby rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Reydon Smear and filled petrol in a diesel sunflower yellow Audi Quattro lease car. She was rather troubled apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, because it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to reach the woman right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. Yet another job in Suffolk done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations very expediently.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist Reydon Smear - Wrong Fuel in Car Reydon Smear

I had enjoyed a wonderful day fishing on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I was en route to assist a new family holidaying in Reydon Smear. They had pulled over after putting petrol into their matte black Renault Master, and were roughly an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed while I heard to the woman telling her man off for actually being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this problem comes to pass on a regular basis in Suffolk and that it's really nothing to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted farewell and pondered on what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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.
