It was around five pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry evening, it had not given up on raining! Dan and me were resting discussing the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Winstanleys and put petrol in her diesel mint green Subaru Impreza WRX rental car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel can certainly contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather simply.

Take note that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container placed in the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Greater Manchester to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

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.
