It was just after 9 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting talking about the recent football results, waiting for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Palmersville and put petrol in a diesel friend's Lexus RX hire car by mistake. She was pretty agitated it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could get to the lady right away. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and less stressed. One more job in Tyne and Wear done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially blown 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. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

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.
