It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were seated there commenting on the footy rankings, at the ready for the 6th call to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Barrow and filled petrol in a diesel modern Cadillac Brougham lease car in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist Barrow - Wrong Fuel in Car Barrow

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon fishing during my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I set out to assist a new family who were holidaying in Barrow. They pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their sky blue Peugeot 405, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and laughed as I heard to the gal telling off her spouse for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs on daily basis in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, however he still got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. In any case, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved farewell and thought about what my missus would tell me if I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!

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 VA 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.
