It was around 9 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the rugby rankings, prepared for the seventh call for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Helmingham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel matte black Cadillac Escalade ESV rental car by mistake. The poor thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to get to the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and not so stressed.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Suffolk we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly do not start the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

In case you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical expertise and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IP14 Postcode - Helmingham Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Wednesday and I was on the way to help an old woman after she put petrol in her diesel burgundy red Mercedes M-Class in Helmingham. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a rural road en route to see her family. I got the location punched into the Satnav and was with her within an hour. I turned up at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had only just got it a week back because my old car, which I had used for about twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain done and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Suffolk woman!

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.
