It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were seated there talking over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th call that day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Crook and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel light blue Peugeot 104 rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly do happen.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will likely result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly 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 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.
