It was just after 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were resting talking about the tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th call that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Dennington and put petrol in her diesel boss' Honda lease car. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few miles from us, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and not so stressed. Another fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my books!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations quite swiftly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

We're able to help to fill up your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IP13 Postcode - Dennington Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Wednesday and we were en route to assist an elder sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel pristine Renault Master in Dennington. I'd been advised she had left the filling station and stranded on a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I popped her location in the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel because I'd just acquired it a couple of days ago because my former one, which I had for over thirty years, finally died". I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious 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.
