It was just after 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were relaxing discussing the recent rugby results, waiting for the next job of the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Tudhoe and filled petrol in her diesel new Seat Exeo hire car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things do happen. She was able to move the car into a safe spot and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could find the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in County Durham well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel can potentially result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DL16 Postcode - Tudhoe Misfueling

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Sunday and I was on the way to help an old lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel gorgeous Peugeot Bipper in Tudhoe. I'd been advised she had left the filling station and pulled up on a country road on route to visit her godchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I had only acquired it a few days ago after my previous one, which I'd used for more than 30 years, finally died on me". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely County Durham woman!

A customer from Tudhoe with a full car of little ones in her diesel friend's Mazda B2500 had put £30 of petrol at the BP service station. She phoned us crying and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that all should be alright and that she would be back in action soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the kids on board."

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.
