It was close to 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the 6th call to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Nailsbourne and put the wrong fuel in her diesel winter grey Chevrolet Colorado rental. She was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from the office, we could find the customer quickly.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases very easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be completely water-logged 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.
