It was around ten pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were resting there going over the recent tennis results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Gretton and filled petrol in a diesel rugged Hyundai Scoupe hire car in error. The poor thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel will likely result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Gretton - Wrong Fuel in Car Gretton

I enjoyed a fantastic evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling delighted the next morning as I set off to aid a new family on holiday in Gretton. They broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their metallic silver Mazda RX-8, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal chastising her man for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing happens quite frequently in Northamptonshire and that it's nothing to fret about, even so he still had an earful by his wife. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and thought about what my missus would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
