It was just before five pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting there commenting on the recent footy results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Greetwell and put the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic silver Ford Galaxie lease car. The poor lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and not so worried. One more misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers 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 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.
