It was after 10 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing there talking about the tennis, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Bollington Cross and put the wrong fuel in a diesel brand new Volvo V50 lease car by mistake. She was very affected apparently, stating "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure position and, because it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the lady right away. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was living in.

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


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations rather swiftly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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.
