It was before 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! James and me were seated talking about the recent tennis, waiting around for the next job for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Stapleton and filled petrol in her diesel dirty red MINI Cooper Clubman lease car. She was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel may produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Stapleton

Just picture conking out in a automobile filled with the wrong fuel on the street. One of our most recent customers who filled her car with the incorrect fuel (khaki green Hyundai Tiburon) in Stapleton encountered literally this kind of issue: "Unfortunately I mistakenly filled my car with the wrong fuel like a complete idiot. I was so upset about contaminating my fuel that I was in tears. Nevertheless I didn't need to worry as you were exceptional in sorting the problem out."

This really was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about dawn and noone was about. It was quite uneventful until now, and Brian and I were sitting reading several old newspapers. It was a rare tranquil time in North Yorkshire. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that the instant the phone inevitably rang it made me jump! The voice on the phone told me: "I've only just finished my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a bright yellow Mercedes-Benz C-Class in error". We asked him to tell us where the car was and we headed out, ending up in Stapleton not as much as half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the car and he thanked us for coming so promptly. As we were coming back home we found two young women at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we stopped to change it, much 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.
