It was close to five pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the recent tennis, prepared for the 6th job of the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in East Kennett and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel new-shape Land Rover Defender 90 hire car by mistake. The poor thing was rather irritated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the car to a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and much less worried. Yet another job in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases very simply.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Wiltshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Wednesday and we were en route to assist an elder lovely lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel matte black Volkswagen Fox in East Kennett. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and stranded on a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I turned up at the car and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "Now I'm becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only just got it a few days back because my previous one, which I had owned for over twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Wiltshire woman!

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had been pretty uneventful up to now, and Paul and I were loafing about looking at a number of old newspapers. That was an uncommon tranquil hour in Wiltshire. Actually it was in fact that tranquil that the moment my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the phone explained: "I've only just ended my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my bright white Cadillac CTS-V". We told him to tell us exactly where the car was and we headed out, ending up in East Kennett only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the engine. He thanked us for coming so promptly. While we were returning to the office we spotted two girls on the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we got out to change it, much 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.
