In due time we received the call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Rushy Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel work's Mazda323 lease car. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!"

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in East Sussex to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Assist Rushy Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Rushy Green

I had a terrific afternoon cycling during my off day and was feeling contented the following day as I set off to assist a young couple who were on vacation in Rushy Green. They'd broken down after filling diesel into their metallic silver Honda Prelude, and they were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl chastising her partner for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in East Sussex and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he still had an earful by his better half. I felt sorry for the boy. In any case, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted bon voyage and considered what my wife would do to me if I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

A driver from Rushy Green with her youngsters in her diesel sombre grey Mercedes SLK55 AMG had filled her car with £50 of petrol at the Texaco station. She contacted us weeping and extremely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that the vehicle should be alright and that she would be in action in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the kids in the back."

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.
