It was after six pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing going over the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Kingstone and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel luxury Isuzu Ascender lease car. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Herefordshire done well in my opinion!

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


Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases rather easily.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

We assured her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be in action quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable.

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.
