It was around five pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the recent golf results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Bailbrook and filled petrol in her diesel mint condition Hyundai Entourage lease car. The unfortunate thing was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably happen. She was able to get the car into a safe spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could find the customer without delay.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations very expediently.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BA1 Postcode - Bailbrook Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and I was on the way to assist an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel metallic red Citron DS3 in Bailbrook. I had been informed she had left the petrol station and pulled up along a backwater lane on the way to see her godchildren. I plugged the location in the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I got to the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she told me, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I had only just acquired it a few days ago after my former car, which I owned for more than twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job done and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Somerset lady!

This really was the night shift. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It had become quite quiet up to now, and me and Mark were relaxing reading a couple of old newspapers. It was a rare quiet moment in Somerset. It was in fact that peaceful that the moment the telephone rang it made me jump! The motorist on the other end said: "I completed my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in my diesel apple green Toyota Corolla in error". I told him to inform us exactly where he was and we headed out, arriving in Bailbrook only half an hour later. The fuel was removed from the engine and he said thanks for showing up so quickly. While we were going back home we found two women at the side of the street who looked like they had a flat. Obviously we pulled over to change it, much 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.
