It was just after 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there discussing the footy results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Great Bealings and put the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic grey Seat Mii rental by mistake. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is going to result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally 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.
