It was after 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting there discussing the rugby results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Sidlesham Common and filled petrol in a diesel compact Vauxhall Signum hire car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could reach her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. One more misfuel correction in West Sussex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations very easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in West Sussex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Sidlesham Common

I am not ever overly inclined to doing work weekends, and the other day was no different. I'd only just departed home filled with a tasty roast cooked for me by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a gentleman after he filled the wrong fuel in his silver Bugatti Veyron. He was somewhere in Sidlesham Common and so I arrived with him very quickly. Just as I pulled up at the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my concentration on other stuff and did not realise I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any harm by simply starting it?" I determined generally there should not be any kind of problems and that also I would drain the wrong fuel as soon as possible. As expected I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and then another happy motorist had the ability to continue their ride without bother. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make working on Sundays in West Sussex just that tiny bit easier in my opinion!

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter

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.
