It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were sitting going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain to come in. In due time we got a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Totteridge and filled petrol in her diesel light blue Toyota Corolla hire car in error. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this sadly happen.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat 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 help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

This was the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and nobody was stirring. It was rather dead thus far, and Ryan and I were loafing around looking at several old newspapers. That was an unusual restful moment in Barnet. It was in fact so peaceful that the moment the phone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the phone said: "I have completed my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a winter grey Renault Megane by mistake". We told him to tell us where he was and we left, arriving in Totteridge under half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us for arriving so rapidly. As we were going back home we spotted two women on the side of the road who looked like they had a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
