It was just after 8 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were resting there commenting on the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Stowmarket and filled petrol in a diesel metallic grey BMW M6 rental car by mistake. She was quite affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably happen. She managed to get the car into a safe space and, as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Suffolk we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not start up the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In case you have started the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Call us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IP14 Postcode - Stowmarket Misfueling

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Tuesday and we were on my way to assist an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel black Kia Rio in Stowmarket. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down along a country lane on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I am becoming quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I'd only got it a couple of days back after my old one, which I'd had for about twenty years, finally stopped working". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely 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.
