It was about six pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting going over the football, waiting around for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Crowhill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel bright white Mazda RX-8 rental car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Greater Manchester done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances quite easily.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

A woman from Crowhill with a full car of youngsters in her diesel dark red Subaru Impreza had put £42 of petrol at the Tesco petrol station.

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 VA 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.
