It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were seated discussing the weekend's football results, at the ready for the next job of the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Helperthorpe and put petrol in her diesel khaki green VW Beetle rental. She was very affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could find her right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging at.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

It truly was an unsociable hour to be up. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had become pretty dead until now, and me and Ray were sitting about reading through a few old articles. This was an uncommon peaceful hour in North Yorkshire. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the moment the phone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist on the other end stated: "I have only just ended my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in the mum's Lexus IS by mistake". We asked him to let us know exactly where the car was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Helperthorpe half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the engine. He said thanks for showing up so quickly. As we were heading back home we found two ladies at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
