It was close to 8 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! James and me were seated talking over the weekend's tennis, waiting for the next job of the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Totteridge and put the wrong fuel in her diesel expensive Nissan 350Z Roadster lease car. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was only a few miles off from the office, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and a lot less worried. One more job in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

The owner of a mustard yellow Mercedes C-Class was sorry that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel automobile when he got as far as the road and it coughed and stopped.

In all honesty, when he first called us he said he would like to shop around, but he phoned us back before long because our price and on-scene times were the best.

A woman employed in Totteridge contacted us after she managed to get her misfueled vehicle to work. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel cobalt blue Fiat Panda and, like many prior to her, thought that she would be able to just fill her tank with diesel and it'd run fine. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her work. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed in an hour or so whilst she was in the office. She came outside afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely glad you fixed my vehicle."

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.
