It was just before five pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting talking over the weekend's rugby results, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Cotterdale and filled petrol in a diesel buff Honda CR-V hire car in error. She was pretty agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably can happen.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Cotterdale - Wrong Fuel in Car Cotterdale

I had a perfect afternoon hiking on the weekend and felt delighted with myself the next day as I was on the way to assist a new family who were holidaying in Cotterdale. They'd conked out after filling petrol in their metallic yellow Lexus LS, and were about half an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed as I listened to the woman berating her man for being so stupid. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this situation comes to pass constantly in North Yorkshire and that it's actually nothing to fret about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and thought about what my missus would say to me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd never ever live it down!

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.
