If you have put petrol in the diesel car anywhere in The Pitts we are delighted to come out and do a full fuel drain. Wrong fuel in diesel in The Pitts shouldn't be a huge crisis. We're just a telephone call away.

It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were resting there going over the tennis results, ready for the next job that day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in The Pitts and filled petrol in her diesel rugged Subaru Outback hire car. The poor thing was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my books!

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


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Wiltshire we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely do not crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. If you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car The Pitts

We recently received a phone call about a businessman who had put the wrong fuel in his bright yellow Porsche Cayman in The Pitts. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't discover the predicament until we stopped working. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it running again. I was impressed with both how fast you were and your price". As you can imagine we arrived on the scene rapidly and purged the engine after flushing the petrol from the diesel tank.

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be up. It was about 3am and hardly anyone was around. It had been fairly uneventful thus far, and me and Paul were sitting around reading a number of old papers. That was an uncommon calm hour in Wiltshire. It was so quiet that the instant the telephone eventually rang I leaped! The motorist told me: "I've only just completed my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the elegant Lexus IS in error". I got him to inform us just where the vehicle was and we left, arriving in The Pitts no more than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for coming out so quickly. As we were coming back home we noticed two young women at the side of the highway who seemed like they had a puncture. So we pulled over to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
