It was just before seven pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated talking about the weekend's sports, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Hampton Beech and put petrol in her diesel work's Fiat Punto hire car in error. The poor lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and much less worried. A fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Shropshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

It can't be nice breaking down in a car with the improper fuel halfway down the street. One of our last customers who filled her car with the incorrect fuel (green Kia Sorento) in Hampton Beech encountered precisely that kind of problem: "You may already know that I mistakenly put unleaded in my diesel car recently. I was so distressed about contaminating my fuel that I was besides myself. However I shouldn't have concerned myself seeing that you were outstanding in fixing it."

This was the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It was fairly dead thus far, and Ryan and I were relaxing looking through several old newspapers. This was an uncommon tranquil time in Shropshire. Actually it was that calm that the instant the telephone rang it made me start! The customer on the phone explained: "I've only just concluded my evening shift and foolishly put petrol in the cobalt blue BMW Z3 in error". I got him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we left, reaching him in Hampton Beech under half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the engine. He said thanks a lot for coming so rapidly. As we were heading back to the office we spotted two young women on the edge of the road who seemed like they had a puncture. So we got out to help 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 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.
