It was about 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were seated there talking about the recent rugby results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Ellerton and filled petrol in her diesel teal Audi 4000CS Quattro rental car. The unfortunate lady was very irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the lady right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction in East Riding of Yorkshire done well in my mind!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Ellerton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive East Riding of Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the standard issues which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

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 VAT 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.
