It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and me were seated going over the sports results, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Three Cocked Hat and filled petrol in a diesel precious Mitsubishi L300 rental by mistake. The poor lady was rather agitated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases pretty easily.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NR14 Postcode - Three Cocked Hat Misfueling

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and I was on my way to help an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel daughter's Toyota MR2 in Three Cocked Hat. I had been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a country road on the way to visit her family. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "I am becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only just purchased it a couple of days ago after my old one, which I used for over thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Norfolk woman!

I'd had a wonderful evening fishing during the weekend and was feeling contented the following working day as I set off to help a new family who were vacationing in Three Cocked Hat. They stopped after inserting petrol in their silver Lexus IS-F, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I listened to the woman telling her man off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass regularly in Norfolk and that it's nothing to fret about, nevertheless he yet still got his ear bent. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel.

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.
