It was close to 10 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated there talking over the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Longridge and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel modified Vauxhall Vivaro rental in error. She was pretty irritated it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to find the customer right away.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

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.
