It was close to six pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! James and me were seated there commenting on the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the 6th call for the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Swanton Morley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red BMW X3 rental car. She was somewhat affected apparently, crying "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, since it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could get to her right away. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and not so apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases rather quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

We are able to come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.

We not too long ago had a call about a man who put the wrong fuel in his baby blue Mazda MX-6 in Swanton Morley. He had broken down on the road. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't discover the problem till it stopped working. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and had it running once again. I was impressed by both your speed and your rates". Needless to say we were on-scene rapidly and flushed the engine after draining the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank.

This was certainly what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had been rather dead so far, and Paul and I were loafing about perusing several old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet hour in Norfolk. It was in fact that quiet that the moment the phone eventually rang I jumped! The person on the other end stated: "I've just finished my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in my diesel bright white Cadillac Brougham by mistake". We asked him to inform us just where he was located and we headed out, arriving in Swanton Morley not as much as an hour or so later. The fuel was extracted from the engine and he said thanks for coming out so promptly. As we were coming back to the depot we noticed two girls on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
