It was just before five pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing talking over the tennis, waiting around for the 8th job that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Pipehouse and filled petrol in a diesel metallic grey BMW 650 rental in error. The poor thing was fairly distressed apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly often happen. She managed to move the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from us, we could find her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may well trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Pipehouse - Wrong Fuel in Car Pipehouse

I had a fantastic evening cycling on my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next working day as I headed out to aid a young family on holiday in Pipehouse. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their maroon Peugeot 307, and were roughly an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked while I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you actually be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this problem goes on on a regular basis in Somerset and that it is nothing to stress about, but he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. In any case, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and thought about what her indoors would tell me if I made the same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Pipehouse

I'm not ever so excited about doing work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just left the family filled with a fantastic Sunday roast prepared by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a guy who had filled the wrong petrol in his khaki green Peugeot 107. He was only in Pipehouse hence I arrived with him before long. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and started work he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other stuff and didn't ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I created problems simply by running it?" I stated there shouldn't be any problems and that also I would remove the fuel right away for him. Obviously I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and so yet another contented client could continue on his journey without any fuss. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what helps make earning a living on weekends in Somerset that little easier for me!

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.
