It was close to ten pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated talking over the weekend's sports, waiting around for the next job that day to come in. In due time we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Kings Worthy and filled petrol in her diesel bright white Volkswagen Eos rental car. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. Another job in Hampshire done well in my mind!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and I was off to help an older lady who put petrol in her diesel metallic blue Lexus IS in Kings Worthy. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a country road along the way to see her family. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she said, "I am becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd only acquired it several days ago because my old car, which I had owned for over twenty years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious Hampshire lady!

I appreciated a perfect evening golfing during my holiday and was feeling delighted the next working day as I was on the way to aid a young family vacationing in Kings Worthy. They had broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their faithful Cadillac Eldorado, and were close to half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the woman berating her spouse for being so confused. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass continuously in Hampshire and that it's nothing to worry about, even so he still got an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted so long and thought about what my missus would tell me if ever I made the exact same error... I'd personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Kings Worthy

We not too long ago had a call about a driver who put the wrong fuel in his mate's Volvo240 in Kings Worthy. He had ground to a halt on the street. "After putting petrol in my diesel car I didn't realize the issue up until the time it ground to a halt. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and had it running once again. I was happy with both how fast you were and your pricing". Naturally we showed up rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived our technician said the client was raging, but was pretty happy afterwards.

A customer employed in Kings Worthy phoned us as soon as she managed to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel dark green BMW M Roadster and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she could basically top up her car with diesel and it would be no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she got to the entrance of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved inside 60 minutes whilst she was at the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm very relieved you fixed my car."

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.
