It was before five pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing commenting on the recent tennis results, prepared for the seventh job to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in School House and filled petrol in a diesel gorgeous Volkswagen Beetle rental car. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and not so stressed. One more job in Dorset done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel may contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite simply.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

I had a great afternoon cycling during the weekend and felt cheerful the following day as I set off to help a young family on holiday in School House. They conked out after adding diesel into their burgundy red Mazda B2600, and they were close to half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the girl telling off her husband for actually being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place everyday in Dorset and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he still got his ear bent. Poor lad. Anyways, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was around 3:30 in the morning and noone was about. It had been pretty quiet until now, and me and John were relaxing perusing a couple of old newspapers. That was an uncommon peaceful moment in Dorset. It was in fact so peaceful that the moment the telephone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The voice on the phone said: "I've finished my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a modern Austin Mini Cooper by mistake". I got him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was and we set off, getting to him in School House under an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He said thanks for arriving so promptly. As we were heading back to the office we noticed two girls on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre.

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.
