It was just before seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there going over the recent golf results, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Potter Hill and put petrol in her diesel mum's Mercedes SLK55 AMG rental. She was quite irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we could find the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and not so worried. One more job in Leicestershire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will likely contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

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.
