Finally we got a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Brockhampton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel sombre grey Chevrolet Malibu rental in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!"

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank may bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

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.

  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.
