It was just after 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing there commenting on the tennis results, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Cressing and put the wrong fuel in a diesel beloved Fiat Ulysse rental in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could find the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. Another fuel drain in Essex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations quite quickly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

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.
