It was close to ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were seated there going over the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Gisburn and put the wrong fuel in a diesel partner's Skoda rental by mistake. She was very distressed apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that these things happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, as it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the motel she was living at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my mind!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

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.
