It was about 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting there going over the tennis results, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Freston and put petrol in a diesel matte black Austin Mini Cooper S rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Suffolk we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely take care not to start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in IP9 Postcode - Freston Misfueling

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and I was off to help an old woman who put petrol in her diesel work's Toyota Land Cruiser in Freston. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and pulled up in a country lane along the way to see her godchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I arrived at the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I had only got it a week back because my other car, which I had had for about 25 years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant Suffolk woman!

Therefore, in the event that you've topped up your petrol vehicle with the wrong fuel, or the wrong fuel in your diesel automobile somewhere in Suffolk, contact us immediately. Our experienced technicians are ready and waiting for your call.

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Freston

We performed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise outside a lovely property in Freston a few weeks ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and was able to almost get home when my car cut out." Our specialist went out, regardless that it was quite late at night, and carried out a standard fuel drain and cleanse on the modern Smart Car to everyone's satisfaction.

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around 2am and noone was about. It had been fairly quiet up to now, and me and Brian were sitting around looking at several old newspapers. It was an uncommon peaceful hour in Suffolk. It was so calm that the moment my mobile rang I leaped! The motorist on the opposite end said: "I just concluded my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the stylish Jaguar". We told him to tell us exactly where the car was located and we left, reaching him in Freston less than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the engine and he thanked us for coming out so rapidly. As we were returning to the office we found two young ladies on the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. As a result we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
