It was about 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting discussing the football, waiting for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Peasmarsh and filled petrol in her diesel metallic silver Hyundai Santa Fe hire car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will likely produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on my way to help an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel wife's Cadillac STS in Peasmarsh. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a rural lane along the way to visit her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "Now I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only just bought it a week back after my previous one, which I had had for about thirty years, finally stopped working". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Somerset woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Peasmarsh

I am not ever too enthusiastic about carrying out work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just come away from home after eating a tasty Sunday roast cooked for us by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a gentleman who had filled the wrong fuel in his spotless Peugeot 508. He was located in Peasmarsh so it wasn't long before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I had my mind on other things and did not ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought about harm simply by driving it?" I determined that generally there shouldn't be any damage and that also I would personally get the fuel drained right away. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and then yet another pleased customer could continue their trip without any subsequent hassle. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Somerset a tiny bit less painful to me!

This really was what we call the night shift. It was about 3:30am and almost noone was around. It was quite quiet thus far, and me and Mark were sitting about looking at a few old magazines. That was an uncommon peaceful moment in Somerset. It was in fact that peaceful that when the phone eventually rang it made me start! The customer on the phone stated: "I've just concluded my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in my precious Nissan JUKE". I got him to tell us where he was situated and we set off, reaching him in Peasmarsh only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the engine and he said thank you for coming out so fast. While we were returning home we saw two young ladies at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them change it, to their delight.

  • Difficulties starting the vehicle

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.
