It was around 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Norton Green and put petrol in her diesel bright white Subaru Legacy hire car in error. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from us, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and much less worried. One more job in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank is likely to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases pretty easily.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Hertfordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

I am not ever that keen on carrying out work weekends, and a while back was no different. I had just come away from the family filled with a lovely lunch prepared for us by the wife, and I was on the way to help a fellow after he had filled the wrong petrol in his silver Chrysler PT Cruiser. He was stationed in Norton Green so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise God! I had my concentration on stuff and failed to realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I inflicted some problems by driving it?" I revealed that there shouldn't be any kind of problems and also I'd get the wrong fuel drained immediately for him. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the suitable fuel, and then another content motorist had the ability to continue on his trip without the need for hassle. He did not stop thanking me, and this is what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Hertfordshire just a tiny bit easier for me personally!

This really was the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and almost noone was around. It had been quite dead until now, and me and Brian were sitting reading through a number of old papers. This was a rare restful time in Hertfordshire. It was so tranquil that the instant my mobile rang it made me jump! The person stated: "I just finished my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in my diesel son's Toyota Highlander by mistake". I told him to tell us where the vehicle was and we hit the road, ending up in Norton Green no more than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the car. He said thank you for arriving so quickly. As we were returning home we found two girls on the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
