It was about 7 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting talking over the recent footy, ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in East Stour Common and put the wrong fuel in her diesel company's Suzuki Swift hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably happen. She was able to move the car to a protected position and, as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my opinion!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations very swiftly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Bank Holiday Monday and I was off to help an older lady who put petrol in her diesel compact Audi Quattro in East Stour Common. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and pulled up on a country lane along the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "Now I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel since I'd only just acquired it a short while back right after my previous car, which I used for over 30 years, finally died". I finished the drain and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Dorset lady!

A woman living in East Stour Common called us shortly after she tried to get her misfueled car to work. She had filled petrol in her diesel grey Citron DS4 and, like many prior to her, assumed that she could simply top up her vehicle with diesel and it would run no problem. The car was chugging and then it cut out when she reached the entrance of her office.

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.
