It was just after six pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and me were relaxing discussing the recent tennis, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Williamscot and put the wrong fuel in her diesel elegant Peugeot 505 rental car in error. The poor lady was very irritated it seemed, crying "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got really wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and much less worried. One more fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

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


Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Oxfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and useless.

What a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Saturday and I was on the way to assist an elder woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red Peugeot 307 in Williamscot. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and stranded on a country lane on route to see her godchildren. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was working she said to me, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel since I'd only just acquired it a week back when my other car, which I'd used for about 30 years, eventually died on me". I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. What a delightful Oxfordshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Williamscot

A teen who had only got his licence had wrong fueled his brother's Seat Mii by getting petrol in his diesel vehicle at the station in Williamscot. He said, "This is the third time I have put fuel in my car from the time when I purchased it and I have no idea of what to do." He was also scared because his father had just recently paid for the car. He discovered our company on the net and so called us instantly, scared about what he should do. Our individual on the telephones told him that we could be with him in forty five minutes and to not do anything to his vehicle while he waited. We finished the drain on his car and he stated how amazed he was it was dealt with so rapidly and without any complication whatsoever.

This was certainly what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had become quite quiet so far, and me and Paul were sitting reading through some old articles. It was a rare peaceful hour in Oxfordshire. Actually it was indeed so calm that the instant my mobile inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the phone stated: "I have just concluded my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my cobalt blue MINI Cooper Countryman in error". We instructed him to tell us just where the car was and we set off, arriving in Williamscot less than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming out so rapidly. While we were coming back to the depot we noticed two young women at the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

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.
