It was just after eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Limehouse and filled petrol in her diesel metallic yellow Smart Forfour rental car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably can happen.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel will likely lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Redbridge to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.

A customer from Limehouse with a full car of kids in her diesel dark green Smart Forfour had put £30 of petrol at the Tesco service station. She phoned us sobbing and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what could happen to her car . We assured her that the car should be ok and that she would be ready to go very quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable.

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.
