It was close to 5 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated there discussing the weekend's sports, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Bearpark and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel grey Renault Clio rental car in error. She was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances rather expediently.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Bearpark - Fuel Rescue Bearpark

A customer employed in Bearpark phoned us shortly after she had tried to get her misfueled vehicle to work. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel company's Chevrolet Malibu and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she could simply top up the tank with diesel and it'd be alright. The engine was spluttering and then it died when she came to the entrance of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted in an hour whilst she was at work. She came outside afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely glad you fixed my car."

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 VA 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.
