It was just after seven pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated there talking about the weekend's football results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Canhams Green and put petrol in her diesel pristine Mercedes-Benz SL-Class lease car by mistake. She was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected space and, since it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the hotel she was living in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances quite simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IP14 Postcode - Canhams Green Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Monday and I was on the way to assist an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel brand new Cadillac DTS in Canhams Green. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down on a rural lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched her location into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was doing it she explained, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I had just acquired it a few days back after my other one, which I'd used for more than twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a precious Suffolk woman!

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.
