It was about 9 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated discussing the recent rugby, waiting for the 6th job that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Whaley Thorns and put the wrong fuel in a diesel compact Vauxhall Astra rental in error. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately can happen.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

I had a great evening cycling during my off day and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I set off to aid a new couple holidaying in Whaley Thorns. They had broken down after inserting diesel into their deep grey Volvo S90, and were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked as I listened to the gal telling off her spouse for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this happens constantly in Derbyshire and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, but he in spite of everything got an earful. Poor boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted so long and considered what my wife would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally never live it down!

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:

    • 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.
