It was just before ten pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated there talking about the weekend's footy results, waiting for the 6th telephone call to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Brafield-on-the-Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel super Isuzu i-350 hire car. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe area and, since it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could reach her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Northamptonshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

This really was what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was around dawn and nobody was stirring. It was pretty uneventful so far, and me and Brian were relaxing reading through a number of old articles. This was a rare quiet moment in Northamptonshire. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that the moment the telephone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I have only just ended my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in the diesel mint green Ford Galaxie". I instructed him to inform us just where the car was and we headed out, reaching him in Brafield-on-the-Green no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was removed from the car and he said many thanks for showing up so rapidly. As we were heading back home we spotted two young ladies at the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped and helped them change it, 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 VAT 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.
