It was just before 10 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were sitting there talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th job to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Winter Gardens and filled petrol in a diesel creamy white Honda Civic Si lease car by mistake. The poor lady was rather troubled apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, because it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could find the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and not so concerned. One more misfuel correction in Essex done well in my opinion!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

A rather concerned driver phoned us from the Texaco petrol station at Essex to tell us that he had put petrol in to his diesel mint condition Kia Soul; he wasn't quite certain how he'd done it. We told him it was not a worry and soon enough had our man out to him to clean the contaminated fuel from his car. Having purged the bad fuel, he was soon enough back driving.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Winter Gardens

We completed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise outside a lovely house in Winter Gardens not so long ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to very nearly get home when my car cut out." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was quite late at night, and completed a thorough fuel drain and cleanse on the dad's Mercedes-Benz CL-Class .

It truly was what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around 3am and hardly anyone was stirring. It was fairly dead thus far, and me and John were relaxing perusing a few old newspapers. This was an uncommon quiet hour in Essex. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that when the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The person stated: "I've concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my mum's Ford Escort in error". I instructed him to inform us just where he was and we hit the road, getting to him in Winter Gardens under an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned from the car and he said thank you for coming out so fast. As we were heading back home we saw two women on the side of the road who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. So we stopped to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
