It was just after ten pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were seated talking about the weekend's football, waiting for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Morecambe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Fiat Panda rental by mistake. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the car into a safe area and, because it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find the woman right away.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel may cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations rather expediently.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged 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.
