It was just after 9 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Mark and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Freelands and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mum's Land Rover Freelander II rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat affected it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more job in Northumberland well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can easily produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances very expediently.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

This was exactly what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was roughly 3am and almost noone was stirring. It was rather dead so far, and me and Brian were relaxing perusing a few old articles. This was a rare restful moment in Northumberland. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The motorist on the phone said: "I've concluded my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in the rugged Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 in error". We told him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was and we hit the road, reaching him in Freelands only half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said thanks for showing up so promptly. As we were returning home we found two women on the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
