It was just after 9 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting there talking about the recent golf, prepared for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Finally we received a call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Golden Hill and filled petrol in a diesel sunflower yellow Fiat Panda rental car in error. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

This was certainly what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and noone was about. It was rather uneventful so far, and me and Brian were sitting about perusing a few old magazines. This was an uncommon restful moment in Hampshire. It was in fact so relaxing that the moment the phone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The voice said: "I've only just concluded my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in a uncle's Mazda RX-7". We told him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we hit the road, ending up in Golden Hill not as much as half an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the motor and he said thank you for coming so promptly. As we were coming back home we noticed two young ladies on the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, 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.
