It was just before 9 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring! Mark and I were resting there going over the recent football results, waiting around for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Loosegate and filled petrol in her diesel brand new Kia Soul rental car by mistake. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this can happen.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations very easily.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be thoroughly 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.
