It was just after 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were seated discussing the recent rugby, waiting around for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Brome and put petrol in a diesel brother's VW Touareg 2 rental car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was just a short distance off from our van, we could find her quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and less concerned. A job in Suffolk done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel may cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations very quickly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IP23 Postcode - Brome Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Sunday and we were on the way to assist an older lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel sky blue Volkswagen in Brome. I'd been advised she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a rural lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I reached the location and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I have been becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel as I'd only acquired it a few days back because my other one, which I'd had for more than 30 years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Suffolk woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Brome - Wrong Fuel in Car Brome

I'd had a terrific evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I set off to aid a young family who were away in Brome. They'd pulled over after filling petrol in their precious Kia Rio5, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smirked as I heard to the girl telling her man off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this goes on all the time in Suffolk and that it's nothing at all to stress about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Poor lad. At any rate, I drained out all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
