It was after six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were seated discussing the rugby results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Lees and filled petrol in her diesel rust red Hyundai Santa Fe rental. The poor thing was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a short distance from our van, we could find the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations quite simply.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

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.
