It was just after seven pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were sitting there going over the weekend's sports results, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Moordown and put the wrong fuel in a diesel black Nissan JUKE rental car. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure area and, because it was only a short distance off from the office, we could find her without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Dorset done well in my mind!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases quite swiftly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Moordown

It must be horrible breaking down in a automobile full of the incorrect fuel on the street.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Moordown - Fuel Rescue Moordown

A driver from Moordown with a full car of little ones in her diesel modified Vauxhall Meriva had put £42 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She phoned us crying and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what could happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle would be fine and that she would be back on the road quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she discovered that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the kids in the back."

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.
