It was around 10 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and me were seated talking about the rugby, prepared for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Finally we received a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Jumpers Town and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel company's Volkswagen Beetle rental car in error. The poor thing was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could get to the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was residing at.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

I had enjoyed a wonderful day cycling on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the following working day as I set out to help a young family who were on holiday in Jumpers Town. They stopped after filling petrol into their precious Honda Accord, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman telling her husband off for being so stupid. "How could you conceivably manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass everyday in East Sussex and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, however he all the same got an ear bashing. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and considered what her indoors would tell me if I made the same error... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
