It was close to 5 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting commenting on the sports, waiting for the next fuel drain to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Falkenham Sink and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel new-shape Mercedes-Benz S-Class lease car by mistake. She was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was only a short distance from our van, we could find the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and much less worried. One more fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel will lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IP10 Postcode - Falkenham Sink Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and I was off to assist an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel metallic yellow Chevrolet Malibu in Falkenham Sink. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a rural road on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I reached the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only just bought it a few days ago after my old one, which I'd had for more than twenty five years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she offered me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such 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.
