It was after five pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were seated there talking about the weekend's golf, waiting around for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Cooks Green and filled petrol in her diesel mum's BMW 8 Series rental. She was very distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IP7 Postcode - Cooks Green Misfueling

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Saturday and I was on my way to assist an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel wife's Land Rover Defender 110 in Cooks Green. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a country lane on route to visit her family. I punched the location in the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I reached the destination and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "Now I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only just bought it a week back when my other car, which I'd used for about 30 years, inevitably died". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Suffolk 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.
