It was around 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were relaxing there talking about the footy, ready for the 6th call that day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Londesborough and put the wrong fuel in a diesel new BMW 760 rental in error. She was quite affected apparently, stating "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure position and, since it was only a few miles from the office, we could find the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and much less apprehensive.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in East Riding of Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in YO43 Postcode - Londesborough Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 am on a warm Saturday and I was en route to help an elder lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel red Fiat Ulysse in Londesborough. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded on a country lane en route to visit her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel as I'd just bought it a week ago because my old one, which I'd used for about 25 years, finally broke down". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a delightful East Riding of Yorkshire woman!

A motorist had stopped near a road in Londesborough. His creamy white Chrysler PT Cruiser car had ceased operating and he had no idea what was the problem right up until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got no rest the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Londesborough

Now I am not ever so inclined to carrying out work Sundays, and last week was the same. I had just departed home after having a magnificent Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow who had put the incorrect petrol in his work's Range Rover. He was somewhere in Londesborough so it wasn't long before I reached him. As I drove up behind the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on stuff and did not realise I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about any kind of damage by simply running it?" I said that truth be told there probably should not be any kind of damage and that also I'd personally drain the wrong fuel at once for him. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and then yet another contented customer was able to carry on with his journey without the bother. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this helps make earning a living on Sundays in East Riding of Yorkshire a tiny bit better for me!

A woman working in Londesborough phoned us after she managed to get her misfueled vehicle to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel bright red Citron DS3 and, like countless prior to her, thought that she could basically top up her tank with diesel and it'd run okay. The car was spluttering and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted inside one hour while she was working. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you fixed my car."

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.
