It was just before 9 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated there going over the footy, waiting for the next job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Sutton-in-Craven and put the wrong fuel in her diesel wife's BMW 1 Series rental car. She was very affected apparently, crying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and that such things sadly happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was no more than a short distance from us, we could arrive at her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very simply.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

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.
