It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and me were seated there going over the weekend's football, ready for the 8th job to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Woodcroft and put petrol in her diesel daughter's Honda Civic Si rental in error. She was very troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe spot and, because it was only a few miles from our van, we could reach the woman without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations fairly expediently.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
