It was close to 7 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were seated talking about the weekend's football results, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Milbury Heath and put petrol in her diesel gorgeous BMW 600 rental in error. The poor lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably can happen.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations fairly simply.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

This was exactly what we call the night shift. It was around sunrise and nobody was around. It had become pretty dead so far, and me and Brian were sitting around reading a few old newspapers.

The customer explained: "I've ended my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a diesel gorgeous Mitsubishi Chariot by mistake". I told him to inform us just where he was and we left, arriving in Milbury Heath under half an hour later. The fuel was taken out from the car and he thanked us profusely for coming so fast.

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.
