It was after 10 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were seated there talking over the recent rugby results, ready for the next job to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Sleapshyde and put the wrong fuel in her diesel well worn Range Rover Sport hire car. She was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to get the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could find her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations quite easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

A driver from Sleapshyde with her children in her diesel deep grey Dodge Avenger had put £45 of petrol at the BP petrol station. She phoned us crying and extremely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We assured her that all would be fine and that she would be in action soon. When we got there she was visible distressed but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the children 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.
