It was before 10 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there talking over the sports results, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Wilby and put the wrong fuel in her diesel beloved Daewoo Lanos rental car in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was just a short distance from where we were, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Another job in Suffolk well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is going to result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Wilby (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will take care of the usual troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wilby - Wrong Fuel in Car Wilby

I appreciated a fantastic day cycling during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I set out to help a new family holidaying in Wilby. They stopped after putting petrol in their sunflower yellow Audi RS 6, and the car was around an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the lady telling off her man for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you even manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this problem comes to pass on daily basis in Suffolk and that it's nothing to fret about, however he all the same had his ear bent by his better half. I felt sorry for the lad. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted farewell and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Wilby

Now I am not necessarily excessively enthusiastic about working weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd only just left the family following a magnificent lunch made for us by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a guy who had filled the wrong petrol in his red Jeep Grand Cherokee. He was only in Wilby thus it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I arrived at the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise God! I stupidly had my thoughts on other considerations and did not perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I created problems as a result of driving it?" I stated truth be told there probably should not be damage and also that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained immediately for him. It goes without saying that I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with the suitable fuel, and so yet another satisfied client had the ability to continue their ride without the hassle. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what helps make working on weekends in Suffolk just that tiny bit less painful to me!

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.
