It was before six pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports results, prepared for the 8th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Ford End and filled petrol in her diesel racing green Vauxhall Vivaro lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will likely bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

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.
