Mark and me were resting talking about the weekend's rugby, prepared for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Swyre and filled petrol in a diesel raspberry red Lexus lease car. She was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!"

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will often result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases very swiftly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

This really was an unsociable time to be awake. It was around 2am and hardly anyone was around. It had been rather uneventful thus far, and me and Ray were relaxing looking at several old newspapers. That was a rare peaceful moment in Dorset. It was that calm that the moment the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The motorist said: "I have just completed my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a diesel navy blue Citron DS4 in error". I asked him to inform us where the vehicle was and we headed out, arriving in Swyre under an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car. He thanked us profusely for getting there so quickly. While we were returning home we found two young women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
