It was after 10 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing there talking over the recent rugby results, waiting for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Reabrook and filled petrol in a diesel bright yellow Audi riolet lease car. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected area and, since it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly expediently.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Shropshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SY5 Postcode - Reabrook Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and I was on my way to help an older woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel elegant Citron C4 in Reabrook. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a rural lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I punched the location in the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was working she said, "I'm getting quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd only got it a couple of days back after my other car, which I had for about 30 years, eventually died". I got the drain done and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant Shropshire woman!

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.
