It was just after eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting going over the weekend's football, waiting around for the next job of the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Swallow and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel black Land Rover Discovery rental car by mistake. She was very agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the woman right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she could go home to the motel she was residing at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Yet 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

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to many private and business properties in Lincolnshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LN7 Postcode - Swallow Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and I was en route to help an elder lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel mint green VW GLI in Swallow. I had been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had only purchased it a week ago when my previous car, which I had owned for in excess of twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Lincolnshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Swallow

A young person who had only recently passed his driving test had misfueled his work's Honda Prelude by having petrol in the diesel vehicle at the station close to Swallow. He said, "This is only the second occasion I have fueled my vehicle since I purchased it and I do not know what to do." He was anxious because his father had only just paid for the car. He located us on the internet and so called it immediately, frightened about what he should do. Our man on the telephones explained to him that we could be with him within 45 minutes and to not move his car while waiting. We did the fuel drain on his car and he said how amazed he was that it was addressed so rapidly and without consequence .

It truly was what we call the graveyard shift. It was around 2 in the morning and noone was about. It had been quite quiet thus far, and me and John were relaxing perusing some old articles. It was an unusual restful time in Lincolnshire. Actually it was that quiet that when my mobile rang I leaped! The voice said: "I just completed my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel work's Volvo S60". We told him to let us know just where he was and we hit the road, arriving in Swallow no more than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car. He thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. As we were heading back to base we spotted two young ladies at the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled over to help them change it, to their elation.

Commonplace Petrol in Diesel Symptoms:

Here is a list of prevalent wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Loss of engine power
  • Vehicle dying, chugging or even coughing
  • Issues starting the engine
  • Abnormal smoke

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.
