It was around eight pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and me were sitting there talking about the recent football, at the ready for the seventh call to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Camblesforth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel maroon Volvo240 rental by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases quite easily.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon golfing on my holiday and felt pleased the next working day as I set off to help a young couple on holiday in Camblesforth. They stopped after adding petrol in their pristine Chevrolet Malibu, and were around an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling her husband off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place regularly in North Yorkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and thought about what my missus would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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.
