Petrol in your diesel car in St Anns? You have arrived at the perfect place. We are here to aid you in this time of need and get you driving once again with our expert fuel removal services.

It was just before seven pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were sitting going over the tennis rankings, waiting around for the 8th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in St Anns and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel teal Renault Megane hire car. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could reach the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Nottinghamshire well done in my opinion!

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


Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Nottinghamshire we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of people not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly don't turn over the car - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Give us a call if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

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.
