It was about 9 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were sitting there discussing the golf, at the ready for the 8th job that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Foxup and put petrol in her diesel father's Fiat Doblo rental. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure space and, because it was only a few miles from the office, we could get to the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances very simply.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

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.
