It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and I were seated there commenting on the golf results, waiting around for the 6th job to come in. Finally we had a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Fen Side and put petrol in her diesel boss' Smart Car rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was only a short distance away from our van, we could reach the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and much less worried. A fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can potentially lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

A man had conked out just off a street in Fen Side. His sunflower yellow Land Rover Defender 90 car had stopped operating and he had no clue what was the problem until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no rest the night before and that must have been precisely why.

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was around sunrise and noone was about. It had become pretty uneventful until now, and me and Paul were loafing around perusing several old newspapers. It was an unusual tranquil time in Lincolnshire. Actually it was indeed that calm that the moment the telephone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist explained: "I have just finished my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my diesel son's Volkswagen Golf III by mistake". I got him to let us know where he was and we set off, reaching him in Fen Side half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the engine and he thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. While we were heading back to the depot we found two young ladies at the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we pulled over 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.
