It was about eight pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there commenting on the recent sports results, at the ready for the sixth call to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Drummersdale and put petrol in a diesel dirty red Renault rental by mistake. The poor thing was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was just a few miles off from the office, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. A fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel can potentially result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was around. It was fairly uneventful so far, and John and I were loafing about browsing some old newspapers. That was an unusual peaceful hour in Lancashire. It was indeed so tranquil that the instant the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end said: "I have just ended my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in a diesel trusty Vauxhall Astra by mistake". We instructed him to inform us exactly where the car was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Drummersdale no more than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He said thank you for coming so quickly. While we were heading back home we saw two ladies on the side of the road who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, 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 VA 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.
