It was close to six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there discussing the tennis, ready for the 8th job for the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in West Rudham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel teal Volkswagen Fox hire car in error. She was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from us, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. A job in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can easily cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE31 Postcode - West Rudham Misfueling

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Monday and we were on the way to assist an elder lady after she had put petrol in her diesel yellow Porsche Boxster in West Rudham. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a rural lane on the way to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been becoming rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd just purchased it a couple of days back after my former one, which I'd used for more than twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Norfolk lady!

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.
