It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were resting discussing the weekend's football rankings, ready for the 6th call to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Newbourne and put petrol in a diesel racing green Suzuki Vitara lease car by mistake. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things often happen. She was able to move the car to a safe spot and, because it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases rather expediently.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank in the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Suffolk for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in IP12 Postcode - Newbourne Misfueling

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and we were off to assist an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel classic Suzuki Vitara in Newbourne. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a backwater road en route to see her grandchildren. I popped her location into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I am getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only just bought it several days back when my former one, which I had had for more than twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant Suffolk lady!

This was certainly what is called the night shift. It was around 3:30am and nobody was about. It had been pretty quiet thus far, and me and Ryan were loafing around looking at some old magazines. That was an unusual tranquil time in Suffolk. It was so relaxing that the instant the phone finally rang I leaped! The voice stated: "I have only just finished my evening shift and foolishly poured petrol in the sunflower yellow Peugeot 508 by mistake". I asked him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we set off, arriving in Newbourne only an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us for coming out so fast. While we were returning home we found two young ladies at the side of the road who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we got out and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
