It was just after 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry night, it had not ceased raining! James and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's football, prepared for the seventh job that day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Spratton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark blue Mercedes Sprinter rental in error. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. Another fuel drain in Northamptonshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel will result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an old sweetheart after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel classic Volvo XC60 in Spratton. I had been advised she had left the filling station and pulled up in a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I punched the location straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I reached the location and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "I am becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had only just got it a few days ago when my old car, which I'd used for about twenty years, finally broke down". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Northamptonshire lady!

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.
