It was just after 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Wessington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel friend's Jeep Compass rental by mistake. The poor thing was very troubled apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

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


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

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

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is going to trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and we were en route to help an older woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel brand new Fiat Bravo in Wessington. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a rural lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle.

I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious Derbyshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Wessington

I am not too interested in working on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had only just left the family after eating a magnificent dinner made for us by the better half, and I was off to help a man after he filled the incorrect fuel in his bright white VW Passat. He was somewhere in Wessington hence it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise God! I had my concentration on other stuff and didn't grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted damage simply by driving it?" I determined truth be told there shouldn't be any problems and also that I would get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and yet another content customer was able to carry on with his journey without fuss. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Derbyshire a little bit easier for 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.
