It was just after five pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were relaxing going over the rugby rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Fulflood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ferarri red BMW M5 hire car in error. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure position and, because it was only a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing during my day off and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I headed out to help a new couple vacationing in Fulflood. They had broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their cream BMW, and were roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this happens frequently in Hampshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted farewell and thought about what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was around 2:30am and hardly anyone was around. It had become pretty uneventful until now, and Ray and I were sitting around looking at a few old newspapers. It was an unusual calm time in Hampshire. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The person explained: "I have ended my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my compact Honda CR-V in error". I got him to tell us where exactly he was situated and we hit the road, ending up in Fulflood no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the engine and he said many thanks for arriving so fast. While we were coming back to the depot we noticed two young women on the side of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
