It was around ten pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and me were sitting there going over the rugby, prepared for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Necton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel shiny BMW 550 hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car into a safe space and, as it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach her without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Norfolk we are discovering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

If you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the practical skills and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE37 Postcode - Necton Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Tuesday and I was on the way to help an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Ferarri red Peugeot 405 in Necton. I had been informed she had driven away from the petrol station and pulled up in a country lane along the way to visit her godchildren. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was working she said, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had just got it a short while ago after my previous one, which I used for over 25 years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. What a precious Norfolk lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Necton

I'm not necessarily too keen on doing work weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids filled with a superb Sunday roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on the way to help a gentleman because he put the wrong petrol in his light green Land Rover Discovery Series II. He was somewhere in Necton so it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the car and started work he explained to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my mind on something else and didn't grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted some harm by simply running it?" I explained that generally there should not be harm and also I would get the fuel drained at once for him. Naturally I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus yet another contented customer was able to continue their traveling with no bother. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what tends to make working on weekends in Norfolk a little easier in my opinion!

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.
