It was about 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were seated discussing the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the 6th job for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Dallicott and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ferarri red Mercedes-Benz S-Class rental car. The unfortunate lady was very affected it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could get to the customer without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and much less anxious. One more job in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may well produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Dallicott

I'm not actually too excited about doing work Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just departed the family after having a tasty dinner cooked for us by the missus, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman who had filled the wrong fuel in his company's BMW M Roadster. He was located in Dallicott therefore it wasn't long before I got to him. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on something else and did not ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any kind of harm by simply starting it?" I explained generally there should not be any kind of problems and that also I would remove the contaminated fuel at once for him. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and another satisfied client could continue his ride with no hassle. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what tends to make working on weekends in Shropshire a tiny bit easier to me!

A motorist living in Dallicott phoned us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel canary yellow Chevrolet Camaro and, like plenty prior to her, imagined that she would be able to simply top up the tank with diesel and it'd be fine. The car was chugging and then it cut out when she reached the the front of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed inside an hour whilst she was working. She came outside afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely happy you repaired my vehicle."

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.
