It was just before 10 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! James and I were resting going over the tennis results, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Stradishall and filled petrol in her diesel bright yellow Lexus lease car. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed if you may have poured AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made out of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is actually damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will undoubtedly be pushed into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, triggering serious and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CB8 Postcode - Stradishall Misfueling

What a quality night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Saturday and I was en route to assist an elder lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel new-shape Volkswagen Scirocco in Stradishall. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a backwater lane en route to visit her family. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I had just purchased it a short while ago right after my other one, which I'd owned for in excess of 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely Suffolk lady!

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.
