It was around 5 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the recent footy, prepared for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Walcot and put petrol in a diesel precious Audi rental in error. The poor lady was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly do happen.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel can result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty quickly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly 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 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.
