It was after five pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the 6th call to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Mickley Square and filled petrol in a diesel compact Peugeot 2008 rental car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my books!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases fairly simply.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Northumberland for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NE43 Postcode - Mickley Square Misfueling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Sunday and we were off to assist an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel husband's Dodge Sprinter in Mickley Square. She told us that she had left the filling station and broken down on a rural lane on route to see her grandchildren. I punched her location in the TomTom and was with her within an hour or so. I turned up at the car and drained the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel as I'd only acquired it a week ago because my other car, which I had had for more than 30 years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Northumberland lady!

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon fishing during my holiday and was feeling pleased the next day as I was on the way to assist a new family on holiday in Mickley Square. They'd broken down after filling diesel in their light blue Peugeot 207, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I heard to the woman berating her hubby for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this happens frequently in Northumberland and that it's truly nothing at all to fret about, even so he still got his ear bent. Poor lad. Anyways, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted good bye and thought about what my wife would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

A motorist living in Mickley Square contacted us shortly after she tried to get her wrong fueled car to her office. She had put unleaded in her diesel deep grey Dodge Challenger and, like plenty prior to her, believed that she could just fill the tank with diesel and it'd run fine. The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she came to the entrance of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it resolved in one hour while she was at the office.

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.
