It was around 8 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing going over the recent golf results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Merrington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel well worn Volvo XC70 rental by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, as it was just a few miles off from the office, we were able to get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may well cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations rather easily.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

A rather alarmed motorist called us from the BP petrol station at Shropshire to inform us that he had put petrol in to his diesel boss' Mitsubishi L300; he wasn't quite sure how he'd done it.

A young lady from Merrington with a full car of kids in her diesel expensive Saab 9-4X had put £20 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She called us weeping and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that all should be okay and that she would be back up and running very quickly. When we arrived she was still upset but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she discovered that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable.

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.
