It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting going over the weekend's footy results, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we received the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Seven Kings and filled petrol in her diesel father's Toyota Corolla lease car in error. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could find her quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the hotel she was living at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. A job in Redbridge well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases very easily.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist Seven Kings - Wrong Fuel in Car Seven Kings

I appreciated a fantastic evening hiking on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the following day as I was en route to assist a new family holidaying in Seven Kings. They stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their khaki green Mazda B2600, and they were around an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I listened to the woman berating her man for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this problem occurs regularly in Redbridge and that it is nothing to be concerned about, but he yet still had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyways, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove off I shouted so long and wondered what my missus would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Seven Kings

I'm not so hot for working Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had just come away from home after a lovely Sunday roast made for me by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a fellow after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his cream Seat Alhumbra. He was only in Seven Kings and so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I drove up at the car and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my attention on something else and did not perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted any harm because of running it?" I stated that generally there should not be problems and that I'd get the fuel drained at once for him. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and thus another content motorist was able to continue on their ride without any subsequent difficulty. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in Redbridge a little bit less painful for me!

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.
