It was before 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting there discussing the recent football rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Wall under Heywood and filled petrol in her diesel trusty Mitsubishi Outlander rental in error. She was pretty irritated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to find the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations very swiftly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

I punched her location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I turned up at the car and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel because I had just acquired it a short while back when my other one, which I owned for more than thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. What a delightful Shropshire lady!

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.
