It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing there talking over the tennis, prepared for the next job that day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Bilsborrow and filled petrol in a diesel green Mitsubishi Montero rental. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally wet and useless.

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 VA 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.
