It was close to five pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated talking over the weekend's footy, waiting for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Broughton Astley and filled petrol in her diesel winter grey Alfa Romeo164 lease car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to get to the customer quickly.

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


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel may well lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances very expediently.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Leicestershire woman!

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.
