It was about 9 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the recent footy results, waiting around for the next telephone call to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Kirk Ireton and filled petrol in a diesel grass green VW GTI rental car in error. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could arrive at her without delay.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases pretty expediently.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Kirk Ireton

Now I'm not necessarily too inclined to running on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the family after a wonderful Sunday roast made by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a gentleman after he filled the wrong fuel in his company's Jeep Grand Cherokee. He was only in Kirk Ireton hence I was on scene rapidly. Just as I pulled up at the car and got out he explained to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my concentration on other stuff and didn't perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any kind of damage simply by running it?" I determined that there should not be any kind of problems and also that I'd personally get the fuel drained as soon as possible for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and thus one more content customer had the ability to continue his ride without the bother. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this helps make earning a living on weekends in Derbyshire just a tiny bit less painful to me!

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.
