It was just before 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were resting discussing the weekend's football, waiting around for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Ansford and filled petrol in a diesel sombre grey Suzuki Swift hire car in error. She was very distressed apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my books!

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, is in many cases a significant issue to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations very expediently.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

It truly was what is called the night shift. It was about 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was around. It was pretty quiet until now, and me and Ryan were loafing reading a couple of old papers. It was an unusual peaceful moment in Somerset. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that when the telephone finally rang I leaped! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I've just ended my overnight shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a uncle's Toyota Prius". We instructed him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we headed out, getting to him in Ansford not as much as an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he said thanks a lot for coming so rapidly. As we were going back to the office we spotted two young ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we stopped to change it, to their elation.

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 VA 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.
