It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were sitting there talking about the tennis rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Ludgershall and put the wrong fuel in a diesel red VW Beetle rental. She was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and not so apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases quite quickly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

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 VAT 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.
