It was after five pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were resting there discussing the weekend's golf results, ready for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in West Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic grey VW GTI lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this can happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Sunday and I was en route to assist an older lovely lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel sombre grey Mazda MX-6 in West Hill. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and was broken down in a backwater lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel seeing that I'd just purchased it a couple of days back because my other car, which I owned for more than 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Wandsworth woman!

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.
