It was around 5 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were seated commenting on the weekend's sports, waiting around for the 8th call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Knowle and put petrol in a diesel black Jaguar XJ rental car by mistake. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things do happen.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is likely to bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations quite easily.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely 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 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.
