It was after 10 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated there commenting on the recent football, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Groton and put petrol in a diesel mint green Mazda RX-8 lease car in error. The poor lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

You should know that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Suffolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CO10 Postcode - Groton Misfueling

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Saturday and we were on my way to assist an elder woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel old Ford Escort in Groton. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and broken down along a backwater road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I got to the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she told me, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only bought it a week ago after my previous one, which I had for over 25 years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Suffolk lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Groton - Wrong Fuel in Car Groton

A motorist had stopped just off a road in Groton. His mate's Citron Picasso engine had stopped operating and he had no idea what was awry right up until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten absolutely no rest the night before and that must have been the key reason why.

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.
