It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were seated talking over the football results, at the ready for the next fuel drain to come in. Before long we received the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Hepworth and put petrol in her diesel khaki green Dodge Ram hire car. The unfortunate lady was very troubled it seemed, crying "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we could arrive at the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and less anxious. Another job in Suffolk done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases rather easily.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

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.
