It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's golf, at the ready for the seventh call of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in West Stow and put the wrong fuel in her diesel new-shape Vauxhall Meriva rental car in error. The poor lady was quite agitated apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may well produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations fairly easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

We are able to get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home.

This really was what is called the graveyard shift. It was about 3 in the morning and noone was stirring. It had become fairly dead up to now, and me and John were sitting looking through a number of old articles. This was an uncommon peaceful time in Suffolk. Actually it was so tranquil that the moment the phone rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end stated: "I've only just ended my evening shift and incredibly poured petrol in my diesel sombre grey Kia Sorento". I instructed him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we set off, ending up in West Stow less than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the engine. He thanked us for showing up so fast. As we were coming back home we saw two ladies at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we got out to change it, to their elation.

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.
