It was just after 10 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and me were relaxing discussing the rugby, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Buckingham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mom's Mitsubishi Expo lease car. She was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and less apprehensive. Another job in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases pretty easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Now I'm not actually very inclined to running weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just come away from the family following a lovely dinner cooked for us by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a fellow who put the incorrect petrol in his uncle's Audi. He was situated in Buckingham so I was with him rapidly. As I arrived right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on other stuff and didn't realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused some problems simply by driving it?" I revealed truth be told there probably should not be any harm and that I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible. Obviously I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with the correct fuel, and one more happy customer could carry on with their traveling with no bother.

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.
