It was just before 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the tennis, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Weeley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel classic Audi Q7 rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and not so stressed. Another fuel drain in Essex well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will often lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

This was the graveyard shift. It was about sunrise and nobody was stirring. It had been quite uneventful until now, and me and Mark were sitting around reading several old papers. That was an uncommon quiet hour in Essex. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that the moment my mobile finally rang I jumped! The voice on the phone stated: "I just completed my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a classic Seat Arosa in error". I asked him to tell us just where he was and we left, reaching him in Weeley under an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the engine. He said thanks for coming out so promptly. While we were going back home we saw two young ladies at the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a puncture. So we pulled over to help them 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.
