It was around 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not ceased raining! Dan and me were relaxing discussing the recent tennis, prepared for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Alfrick and put petrol in a diesel super VW Eurovan hire car by mistake. She was very troubled apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

What a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and I was on my way to assist an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel beautiful MINI Countryman in Alfrick. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a country lane en route to see her godchildren. I popped her location into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I turned up at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had just got it a short while ago after my other car, which I had owned for in excess of 25 years, inevitably died". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Worcestershire lady!

It can't be nice breaking down in a vehicle filled with the incorrect fuel on the street. We had a customer who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (bright yellow Skoda Citigo) in Alfrick endured literally that kind of trouble: "You may already know that I foolishly put petrol in my diesel car last week. I was so worried about the wrong fuel in my car that I was actually in tears. Nevertheless I shouldn't have worried as you were terrific in draining and cleaning my car."

This was exactly the night shift. It was close to sunrise and noone was stirring. It was pretty dead so far, and Ryan and I were loafing about reading a number of old magazines. This was a rare tranquil hour in Worcestershire. It was that quiet that the moment my mobile finally rang I jumped with surprise! The voice stated: "I have only just finished my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in a stylish Range Rover". We got him to tell us just where the car was and we hit the road, getting to him in Alfrick less than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he said thank you for showing up so promptly. While we were returning to base we found two women at the edge of the street who seemed like they had a puncture. Obviously we got out to change it, much 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.
