It was around five pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were seated talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Pencombe and filled petrol in her diesel shiny Peugeot 106 hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the car to a safe space and, as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and much less concerned. Yet another job in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases quite quickly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Pencombe

I am not actually so interested in working on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just left home after a tasty roast made for us by the missus, and I was on my way to assist a guy who put the incorrect petrol in his compact Peugeot Partner. He was stationed in Pencombe thus I was with him almost immediately. As I arrived at the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I had my attention on stuff and did not grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on any kind of damage by simply driving it?" I said truth be told there shouldn't be harm and also that I would drain the wrong fuel as quickly as possible. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and yet another satisfied customer could carry on with their traveling without bother. He could not stop thanking me, and this is what tends to make earning a living on weekends in Herefordshire just that tiny bit less painful to me!

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.
