It was about seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the 6th job to arrive. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Thompson and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel clean white Land Rover Range Rover Evoque lease car. She was very affected apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could find the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less stressed. A fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations fairly simply.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and we were en route to assist an older lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel daughter's BMW M in Thompson. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I punched her location into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I am becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I had only just got it a week back when my old one, which I'd owned for over thirty years, finally died". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious Norfolk lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Thompson - Wrong Fuel in Car Thompson

I'd had a wonderful day hiking on my off day and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Thompson. They'd pulled over after filling petrol in their green Volkswagen Jetta III, and were approximately an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and laughed while I listened to the woman telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this situation goes on regularly in Norfolk and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. I felt sorry for the lad. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Thompson

Now I'm not actually too interested in doing the job Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had only just come away from home after a wonderful Sunday roast made by the missus, and I was off to deal with a man because he put the incorrect fuel in his burgundy red Audi 4000CS Quattro. He was stationed in Thompson therefore it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on other stuff and failed to ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused damage because of starting it?" I revealed that truth be told there shouldn't be harm and that also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained immediately for him. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and so another satisfied customer could continue on their journey without any fuss. The man could not stop saying thanks to me, and this tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Norfolk just a small bit better to me!

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.
