In due time we had the call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Water Eaton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel maroon BMW Z8 rental car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will often trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations quite swiftly.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely wet 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 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.
