It was after 5 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting there talking about the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 6th job for the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Redcliffe Bay and filled petrol in her diesel light blue Volvo V70 lease car in error. The poor lady was very affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and much less anxious. Another job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly 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.
