It was just after five pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's tennis, waiting for the next telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Bridge End and filled petrol in a diesel work's Saab 9-3 rental car. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this do happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances rather simply.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

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.
