It was before six pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the 8th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Kingsdon and filled petrol in her diesel teal BMW 745 hire car in error. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately can happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases fairly simply.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

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.
