It was about ten pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were sitting there talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the next job to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Newnham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel new-shape Volkswagen GTI lease car. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, because it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to find her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and much less worried. A job in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

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


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel will likely trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
