It was just before 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were seated there going over the weekend's sports, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Hall End and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark green BMW 745 rental. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was only a few miles off from us, we could find the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and much less concerned. One more job in Warwickshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases quite swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Now I am not ever too inclined to doing the job on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had just come away from home after a fantastic Sunday roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was off to assist a fellow because he filled the incorrect fuel in his canary yellow VW Touareg. He was located in Hall End and so I arrived there almost immediately. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and started work he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my thoughts on other considerations and did not grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused any damage by running it?" I explained that generally there should not be any damage and that I would remove the contaminated fuel immediately for him. As expected I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and another satisfied motorist could carry on with their traveling without difficulty. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this can make carrying out work on weekends in Warwickshire that tiny bit less painful for me!

It truly was an unsociable time to be up. It was close to 2:30 in the morning and almost noone was about. It had become rather uneventful so far, and me and Ryan were loafing around looking at some old papers. This was an unusual calm moment in Warwickshire. It was that calm that the moment the phone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The voice stated: "I just finished my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in a diesel beloved Mercedes-Benz M-Class by mistake". I instructed him to inform us just where the car was and we headed out, reaching him in Hall End no more than half an hour later. The fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. As we were heading back to the depot we noticed two young women on the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
