It was before eight pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there talking over the recent rugby results, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Little Tey and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mum's Renault Megane rental in error. The poor thing was very affected apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably can happen.

The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the hotel she was living at.

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


Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Little Tey (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car. They will be able to fix the usual problems which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

He told us; "I am genuinely stunned I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the person who came to undertake the fuel drain was especially very good - he did not make me look and feel an idiot."

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.
