It was close to eight pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting discussing the weekend's golf, prepared for the 6th job for the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in St Annes and filled petrol in her diesel bright red Honda Civic GX hire car. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Lancashire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in FY8 Postcode - St Annes Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Saturday and I was on my way to help an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel modified Peugeot 407 in St Annes. She informed us that she had left the filling station and stranded on a rural road en route to visit her family. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she said, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I'd only got it a week back because my old car, which I used for about 25 years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a precious Lancashire woman!

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was roughly 3 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had been rather dead so far, and Ray and I were sitting reading through a number of old articles. It was an uncommon peaceful time in Lancashire. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that the instant my mobile rang I jumped! The customer stated: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel red Volkswagen Golf". We instructed him to tell us where he was located and we headed out, ending up in St Annes no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine and he said thank you for getting there so promptly. As we were coming back home we saw two girls at the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we stopped to 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 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.
