Finally we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Lanes End and filled petrol in her diesel dad's Mercedes CLS-Class hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!"

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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:

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • 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.
