Petrol in diesel in Wellingham isn't be a significant issue. We're simply a telephone call away.

It was after seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the recent footy, ready for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Wellingham and put petrol in a diesel compact Vauxhall Vivaro lease car. She was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things do happen. She managed to move the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could find her quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Norfolk we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course never switch on the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

If you get in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE32 Postcode - Wellingham Misfueling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Tuesday and we were off to help an old lady after she put petrol in her diesel green Jaguar XK Series in Wellingham. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and was stranded on a rural lane on the way to see her family. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she told me, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I had just got it several days ago right after my former one, which I had for about 25 years, eventually died". I got the drain done and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a lovely Norfolk lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Wellingham

Now I am not necessarily so hot for doing the job Sundays, and last week was the same. I'd just come away from the family after a superb lunch cooked for me by the missus, and I was off to help a man who filled the wrong petrol in his modern Ford Fusion. He was somewhere in Wellingham therefore it wasn't long before I got to him. As I arrived behind the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other things and failed to ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any problems because of starting it?" I revealed that truth be told there should not be any harm and that also I'd drain the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and so one more contented client had the ability to continue his journey without any subsequent difficulty. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and this makes operating on weekends in Norfolk just a little bit better in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Wellingham - Fuel Rescue Wellingham

A customer employed in Wellingham contacted us as soon as she managed to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had put petrol in her diesel mate's Peugeot Bipper and, like plenty before her, thought that she could basically fill the car with diesel and it'd be fine. The engine was coughing and then it cut out when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved within an hour or so whilst she was at work. She came out afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you repaired my vehicle."

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.
