It was close to 6 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were sitting discussing the sports, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Langton and put petrol in a diesel navy blue Lexus IS F lease car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the car to a secure position and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach her right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases very simply.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

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.
