It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's rugby, ready for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Before long we got a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Knedlington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel spotless Vauxhall Combo lease car. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected space and, because it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could go home to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Knedlington - Wrong Fuel in Car Knedlington

I had a perfect afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt pleased the next day as I set off to assist a young family vacationing in Knedlington. They conked out after putting diesel into their light blue Mercedes-Benz R-Class, and the car was around half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I heard to the gal chastising her husband for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this situation goes on everyday in East Riding of Yorkshire and that it's nothing to fret about, but he yet still had an earful. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyways, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted so long and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the same blunder... I'd never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Knedlington

I'm not necessarily so inclined to running Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd only just left the family following a fantastic lunch made for us by the better half, and I was on the way to help a guy who put the incorrect petrol in his super Ford. He was situated in Knedlington and so it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I caused some problems by simply starting it?" I explained that truth be told there should not be damage and that also I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then yet another contented motorist was able to continue on his journey without the need for hassle. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes operating on Sundays in East Riding of Yorkshire just that small bit less painful in my opinion!

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.
