It was just before 10 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated going over the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the next job that day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Walker and put petrol in a diesel modified BMW 530 lease car in error. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I can not believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, because it was only a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at her right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Tyne and Wear well done in my opinion!

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 usually an important matter to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases pretty easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to sunrise and noone was stirring. It had become fairly dead until now, and Ryan and I were relaxing reading a few old magazines. That was an uncommon tranquil time in Tyne and Wear. It was in fact so relaxing that when my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The motorist told me: "I have only just completed my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel rugged Mitsubishi Challenger by mistake". I asked him to let us know exactly where he was situated and we headed out, ending up in Walker less than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming out so rapidly. As we were going back to base we noticed two young ladies at the edge of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. Obviously we got out to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
