It was around six pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing discussing the tennis results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Durston and put petrol in a diesel expensive Cadillac Allante hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Somerset done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

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.
