It was after 6 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing there commenting on the rugby results, waiting for the sixth call of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in St Ives and filled petrol in her diesel pristine Audi RS 6 hire car in error. The poor lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to find the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and less anxious. Another job 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 is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel will produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
