It was just before 6 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting there talking over the recent golf results, at the ready for the next job for the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Sewardstone and filled petrol in a diesel grass green Cadillac STS lease car. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging at.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances pretty expediently.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Monday and I was off to help an elder lady after she put petrol in her diesel yellow Chrysler Grand Voyager in Sewardstone. I had been advised she had driven away from the filling station and broken down on a backwater lane along the way to visit her family. I popped the location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had just got it a week back because my former car, which I had had for more than 30 years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Lewisham 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.
