It was just after 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were sitting commenting on the football rankings, at the ready for the seventh job to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in North Elmham and put petrol in a diesel winter grey Lexus RX hire car by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, as it was only a few miles from us, we could reach the customer almost instantly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances pretty easily.
Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Saturday and I was on the way to help an elder sweetheart who put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright white Honda CR-X in North Elmham. I had been told she had driven away from the petrol station and stranded on a rural lane on the way to see her family. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and got there inside an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she told me, "Now I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel because I had only just got it a short while ago because my previous one, which I'd had for about 25 years, eventually stopped working". I completed the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a delightful Norfolk woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car North Elmham
Now I'm not necessarily too excited about carrying out work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just left the wife and kids after a fantastic Sunday roast made for me by the better half, and I was on my way to deal with a guy who had filled the incorrect fuel in his pristine Ford Galaxie. He was located in North Elmham therefore I arrived on scene rapidly. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and didn't perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any problems by driving it?" I said that truth be told there shouldn't be any problems and that also I would drain the contaminated fuel at once. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and then one more satisfied motorist was able to continue on his trip without the hassle. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and this is actually what tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Norfolk that tiny bit 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
