It was around six pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting there commenting on the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Hare Street and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel apricot Volkswagen Golf III hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could get to her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel can produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and I was en route to help an older sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel yellow Dodge Avenger in Hare Street. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a country road en route to visit her grandchildren. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel from the car. While I was working she explained, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had just got it several days ago after my old car, which I'd owned for in excess of 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Hertfordshire woman!

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.
