It was before ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent tennis results, ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Abbots Ripton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel grey Audi riolet rental. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to find the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations very quickly.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout 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.
