It was just before 10 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there discussing the recent sports rankings, ready for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Sharpsbridge and put petrol in a diesel luxury Suzuki Kizashi lease car in error. She was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things do happen.

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


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in East Sussex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can easily produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases fairly simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Sharpsbridge

I'm not ever that hot for working Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had only just come away from home following a fantastic dinner prepared by the missus, and I was off to sort out a man who had put the wrong fuel in his daughter's Skoda Citigo. He was situated in Sharpsbridge so it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on something else and did not perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any kind of harm by starting it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be any kind of damage and that I'd get the wrong fuel drained right away for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and one more contented client had the ability to continue on his trip without any subsequent fuss. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and that is actually what helps make earning a living on weekends in East Sussex a little easier to me!

This was what we call an unsociable hour to be up. It was about 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It was rather quiet up to now, and Brian and I were loafing around reading some old newspapers. This was an uncommon tranquil time in East Sussex. Actually it was so tranquil that when my mobile rang it made me start! The person on the other end explained: "I only just ended my overnight shift and stupidly filled petrol in a white Audi Coupe GT". I asked him to tell us where exactly the car was and we hit the road, getting to him in Sharpsbridge under 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for showing up so promptly. As we were coming back to the office we noticed two ladies on the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a puncture. As a result we pulled over to change it, 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 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.
