Brian and I were seated there talking about the recent tennis results, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in West Byfleet and put petrol in a diesel bright red Peugeot 206 rental in error. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel can potentially bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations quite easily.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel.

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.
