It was just after 9 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting there going over the weekend's rugby, ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Northleach and put the wrong fuel in her diesel deep grey Cadillac XLR-V rental. The poor thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases pretty easily.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Northleach

A young adult who had just passed his driving test had wrong fueled his grass green Ford Transit Connect by getting unleaded in his diesel vehicle at the filling station in Northleach. He said, "This is the third time I have put fuel in my vehicle since I paid for it and I don't know how to proceed." He was worried since his step father had only just paid for the car. He discovered us on the internet and so called us right away, frightened about what he needed to do. Our person on the call advised him that we could be with him within forty-five minutes and to not start his vehicle while he waited. We finished the fuel drain on his car and he said how astonished he was it was taken care of so quickly and without any consequence whatsoever.

A customer from Northleach with a full car of children in her diesel mum's Hyundai Excel had filled her car with £50 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She phoned us crying and very worried as she had never wrong fueled and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that everything would be okay and that she would be in action very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the little ones on board."

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.
