It was just after 9 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and me were seated going over the weekend's football results, ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Shelton Lock and filled petrol in a diesel beautiful Audi Allroad lease car. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles from us, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging at.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations very swiftly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Shelton Lock

I am certainly not overly keen on doing the job on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd just left the family filled with a superb lunch prepared for us by the missus, and I was off to help a gentleman because he filled the incorrect petrol in his beloved Jaguar XJ. He was stationed in Shelton Lock hence I was on scene soon. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and started work he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on something else and didn't perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought about problems as a result of starting it?" I stated generally there shouldn't be damage and also that I'd remove the fuel as quickly as possible. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and yet another content motorist was able to continue on his traveling without difficulty. The man could not stop thanking me, and that is actually what can make operating on Sundays in Derbyshire just a little bit easier in my opinion!

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.
