It was just after seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were seated commenting on the weekend's footy results, ready for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Leighterton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel teal Fiat Ulysse lease car in error. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things sadly happen.

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


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely water-logged 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:

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
