It was close to 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were seated talking about the sports, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in South Carlton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Nissan lease car in error. The poor thing was quite agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably often happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in South Carlton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the standard issues which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases pretty easily.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and noone was about. It had been quite dead so far, and John and I were loafing around perusing a few old papers. That was a rare calm time in Nottinghamshire. It was in fact that quiet that when the telephone inevitably rang I leaped! The voice on the other end said: "I have concluded my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel clean white Honda Civic Si in error". We asked him to inform us where he was located and we set off, reaching him in South Carlton no more than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us profusely for getting there so rapidly. While we were returning to the depot we spotted two girls at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat. So we got out to change it, 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 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.
