It was about eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were sitting commenting on the football, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Blackpool and put petrol in her diesel burgundy red Land Rover Range Rover Evoque rental in error. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and much less anxious. One more job in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel may well bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Lancashire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Assist Blackpool - Wrong Fuel in Car Blackpool

I'd had a great afternoon cycling during the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young couple holidaying in Blackpool. They'd broken down after inserting petrol in their dirty red Range Rover Sport, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the woman telling off her hubby for being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass all the time in Lancashire and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, but he still got an earful. Poor guy. In any case, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I waved farewell and thought about what my missus would say to me if ever I made the same mistake... I would never live it down!

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 VA 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.
