It was just before 6 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were resting there talking about the weekend's football, prepared for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Lakenheath and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel husband's Jaguar XK rental car. The unfortunate lady was very troubled apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases quite quickly.
Take note however that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

A young person who had recently passed his test had misfueled his bright red Chevrolet Caprice by putting unleaded in the diesel car at the station near Lakenheath. He said, "This is the second time I have put fuel in my car since I purchased it and I do not know how to handle it." He was also afraid because his father had only just paid for the car. He found our company on the internet and so called it instantly, afraid about what he should do.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
