It was just after 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and me were resting there discussing the footy, waiting for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Withington and put petrol in her diesel sombre grey Isuzu Impulse rental car by mistake. She was very irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Staffordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is going to trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations fairly easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

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 VAT 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.
