It was after five pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! James and I were resting there going over the recent sports results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Gamston and put the wrong fuel in a diesel cyan Volvo XC90 lease car. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe space and, since it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could reach her quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and less worried. One more fuel drain in Nottinghamshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases quite quickly.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

I'd had a perfect evening fishing on my holiday and felt pleased the next day as I was en route to aid a young couple on vacation in Gamston. They had pulled over after adding petrol in their dark red BMW Z8, and were close to an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal telling off her man for actually being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this situation goes on frequently in Nottinghamshire and that it's truly nothing to fret about, but he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I waved good-bye and wondered what my missus would tell me in the event that I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
