It was around 7 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were sitting talking about the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Preston and put petrol in her diesel navy blue VW Jetta rental in error. The poor thing was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles from us, we could find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and less anxious. A fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

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


Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Preston (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your car. They are also able to deal with any of the normal troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel may produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

The driver of a spotless Mercedes-Benz CL-Class was regretful that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel automobile when he got as far as the road and it spluttered and stopped.

In truth, when he initially called us he said he'd research prices, but he phoned us back soon enough because our price and call-out times were the most desirable.

We performed a wrong fuel retrieval job on the drive of a lovely residence in Preston recently. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to virtually arrive at home when my car stopped." Our fuel drainer went out, even though it was quite late at night, and completed a fuel drain and cleanse on the partner's Hyundai Equus to everyone's satisfaction.

This was exactly what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly dawn and nobody was around. It had been quite uneventful until now, and me and Mark were loafing around browsing several old magazines. That was a rare calm time in Hertfordshire. It was that peaceful that the moment the phone ultimately rang I jumped! The motorist said: "I have just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a metallic grey Toyota Camry in error". We instructed him to inform us just where he was and we left, ending up in Preston no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he said thanks a lot for coming out so promptly. As we were going back home we spotted two ladies on the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we stopped to help them 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.
