It was just before 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were relaxing there talking over the golf rankings, waiting for the sixth job of the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Hemsworth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel partner's Mitsubishi Endeavor rental in error. She was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately do happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather easily.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Commonplace Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

This is a list of usual wrong fuel signs and symptoms:

  • Decrease in vehicle power
  • Car stalling, chugging or even coughing
  • Difficulty starting the motor
  • Excessive fumes

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.
