It was before 7 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting commenting on the football rankings, ready for the next job to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Forest Town and put the wrong fuel in her diesel luxury Vauxhall Insignia hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was just a short distance away from us, we could arrive at her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and less stressed. Another job in Nottinghamshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances very simply.

Take note that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

A lady from Forest Town with a full car of kids in her diesel aunt's Ford Ranger had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the service station. She phoned us sobbing and extremely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We told her that the vehicle would be alright and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined.

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 VAT 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.
