It was about eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting talking about the weekend's football, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Winnington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel pristine Nissan Cube hire car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to find her quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Staffordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations rather expediently.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TF9 Postcode - Winnington Misfueling

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and I was en route to help an older sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel mate's Hyundai Genesis in Winnington. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up along a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location in the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I had only acquired it several days ago because my former car, which I'd owned for more than twenty years, eventually died on me". I finished the job and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Staffordshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Winnington

Now I'm not ever overly interested in doing work on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had just left the wife and kids after a fantastic lunch prepared for me by the better half, and I was on the way to sort out a man after he had put the wrong petrol in his grass green Suzuki Kizashi. He was located in Winnington hence I was there very quickly. As I drove up at the rear of the car and started work he told me "Thank God! I had my attention on something else and failed to grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused some damage as a result of driving it?" I revealed that truth be told there should not be any problems and that also I would get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and so yet another content customer was able to continue their traveling without any subsequent fuss. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and this tends to make operating on weekends in Staffordshire that little bit better in my opinion!

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.
