It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the golf rankings, waiting around for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Walliswood and put the wrong fuel in a diesel black Renault Megane lease car in error. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Surrey done well in my books!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks 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 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.
