It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated there talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the next call to come in. Eventually we received a call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Ashby St Mary and put petrol in a diesel winter grey Chevrolet Corsica lease car in error. She was very affected it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged 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.
