It was just before six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the 8th job for the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Easton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel luxury Suzuki Reno lease car by mistake. She was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you have poured AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made from a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly harmful to your car's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with AdBlue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an older woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel brother's Fiat Punto in Easton. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and broken down on a rural road on route to see her family. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she said, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel as I had only got it a short while ago after my former one, which I had used for over 25 years, finally died". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. What a precious Berkshire lady!

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.
