It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were resting there talking over the weekend's sports results, prepared for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Stanlow and put petrol in her diesel raspberry red Jaguar XK lease car by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Shropshire well done in my mind!

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


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Shropshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations very easily.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

This was certainly the night shift. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had been fairly uneventful until now, and me and Brian were relaxing looking through several old articles. It was an unusual restful time in Shropshire. It was indeed that peaceful that the moment the phone eventually rang it made me start! The motorist on the opposite end said: "I ended my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my canary yellow Jaguar S-Type". I asked him to let us know just where the vehicle was and we hit the road, reaching him in Stanlow less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He said thanks a lot for showing up so rapidly. While we were returning home we noticed two ladies at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over 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.
