It was after seven pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting discussing the weekend's footy, waiting around for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Totnell and put petrol in a diesel light blue Jaguar XJ Series rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could reach the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the motel she was staying in.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases quite expediently.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel Assist Totnell - Wrong Fuel in Car Totnell

I'd had a perfect evening fishing on the weekend and was feeling contented the next working day as I was on the way to assist a young family on holiday in Totnell. They had stopped after adding petrol into their dark blue Chrysler Voyager, and they were around half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smirked as I listened to the lady berating her husband for being so confused. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass on daily basis in Dorset and that it's in reality nothing to stress about, but he all the same got an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and wondered what my missus would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Totnell

I'm not that hot for running on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd only just departed the family following a superb lunch made for me by the wife, and I was on my way to help a man because he put the wrong petrol in his precious Audi Q5. He was located in Totnell hence it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on stuff and failed to ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I inflicted any kind of damage by simply running it?" I explained that there shouldn't be any harm and that also I'd get the fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Naturally I drained the fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and so one more delighted motorist could continue on their ride without fuss. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and this helps make carrying out work on weekends in Dorset a little bit less painful to me!

This was exactly the night shift. It was close to 2am and hardly anyone was around. It was fairly uneventful up to now, and John and I were sitting about looking at a few old magazines. That was a rare peaceful moment in Dorset. Actually it was that peaceful that when my mobile inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The person said: "I have just completed my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in the trusty Daewoo Nubira in error". We got him to tell us where the car was and we hit the road, ending up in Totnell less than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming out so promptly. As we were heading back home we found two ladies at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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 VA 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.
