It was before five pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were sitting talking about the weekend's golf results, ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Lattinford Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red Volvo S70 lease car. The poor lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was just a few minutes away from us, we could find the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Lattinford Hill

Now I'm not very interested in working on weekends, and the other day was no different. I had just left the family filled with a fantastic lunch cooked for me by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his shiny Vauxhall Zafira. He was somewhere in Lattinford Hill therefore I was with him before long. As I drove up at the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my attention on other stuff and did not realise I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created problems by simply starting it?" I stated truth be told there probably should not be damage and also that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained at once. It goes without saying that I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and so yet another happy customer was able to carry on with their ride without the bother. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what makes working on weekends in Suffolk a little bit less painful for me!

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.
