It was just after 8 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were seated there talking over the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the 6th job to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Knenhall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel modern Skoda Citigo rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

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.
