It was just before 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Little Sutton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel aunt's Volkswagen Touareg 2 lease car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could reach the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off contented and not so anxious. Another job in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a bright Monday and we were on the way to help an elder lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright red BMW in Little Sutton. I'd been advised she had driven away from the petrol station and broken down on a country lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and got there within an hour. I arrived at the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I'd just got it a couple of days ago right after my other car, which I had for more than 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Lincolnshire 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 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.
