It was just before seven pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were resting going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the 6th job to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Woodcote and put the wrong fuel in a diesel beloved BMW 8 Series rental car. She was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure area and, as it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Richmond upon Thames well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel is likely to result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

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.
