It was about 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there talking about the tennis, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Bayford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel dad's BMW 745 lease car in error. She was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected spot and, as it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could find the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances very quickly.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Bayford

Now I am not that interested in running on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the family following a fantastic dinner prepared for me by the better half, and I was on my way to sort out a gentleman after he put the wrong fuel in his dark green Jaguar XJ Series. He was located in Bayford hence it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my mind on other stuff and failed to perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created harm because of running it?" I stated that truth be told there should not be any kind of damage and also that I would drain the contaminated fuel quickly. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and thus one more satisfied client could continue their journey without the hassle. The man could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what can make working on Sundays in Hertfordshire a little bit less painful to me!

A woman living in Bayford contacted us as soon as she tried to get her misfueled automobile to her office. She had put unleaded in her diesel navy blue Jeep Cherokee and, like many before her, thought that she would be able to just top up the vehicle with diesel and it would run fine. The engine was chugging and then it died when she reached the the front of her work. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired in one hour whilst she was at the office. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely happy you repaired 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.
