It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and me were seated discussing the footy, waiting for the sixth telephone call to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Weston Ditch and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel racing green Peugeot 406 rental in error. She was quite agitated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the car to a protected spot and, since it was just a few miles away from us, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. Yet another job in Suffolk done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases very quickly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Out of Fuel Services

We're able to get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will fix the common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

A young lady from Weston Ditch with her children in her diesel luxury Dodge Challenger had put £40 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She contacted us weeping and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what could happen to her car . We told her that the car would be okay and that she would be in action very quickly.

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.
