Fuel Mistake

🛑 Realised You Misfuelled? Follow These Steps:

  • If you have just put petrol in a diesel car, or diesel into a petrol vehicle, your immediate actions are crucial to protect your engine from damage.

​

  • Do NOT Start the Engine: Do not even turn the key to the first click (ignition stage), as this tells the car's computer to engage the fuel pump, immediately drawing the contaminated fuel into the fuel lines.

​

  • Move to a Safe Area: If you are still at the pump island, put the car in neutral and safely push it into a parking bay out of the way of traffic.

​

  • Call the Experts: Contact the Wrong Fuel Team on 07917 952153. Tell us your exact location in Suffolk, your vehicle model, and roughly how much incorrect fuel was put in.

​

  • Sit Back and Relax: Our local mobile drainage van will arrive, isolate the contaminated fuel, flush out your lines, prime the engine with fresh fuel, and test it to make sure you are 100% safe to drive away.

🚗 Petrol in Diesel vs. Diesel in Petrol: What Happens?

  • Petrol in Diesel (Most Common): Petrol strips away the lubrication needed for high-pressure diesel fuel pumps and injectors, causing friction and metal fragments to ruin the system. Our Process: We completely drain the tank, clear out the fuel lines, flush the filtering systems, and restore lubrication with clean diesel fuel.

​

  • Diesel in Petrol (Less Common): Diesel doesn't ignite easily in a petrol engine, leading to severe misfires, spark plug fouling, smoke, and potential catalytic converter damage. Our Process: We safely siphon out the heavy diesel, clean out the spark plugs, purge the lines, and introduce clean unleaded fuel to fire up the system. 

 

  • AdBlue in Diesel Tank (Highly Corrosive): AdBlue is a water-and-urea solution, not a fuel. It sinks to the bottom, corrodes metal fuel components instantly, and crystallizes into hard, abrasive "sandpaper" deposits that can destroy your entire engine block. Never start the engine. We must perform an immediate, high-vacuum tank drain, execute a specialized chemical flush of the lines to dissolve urea crystals, and replace your fuel filter.
