Wrong Fuel in Car Wrose - Petrol in Diesel Car Wrose

Now I am certainly not very inclined to carrying out work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left home after eating a magnificent Sunday roast cooked by the better half, and I was on my way to deal with a gentleman who had filled the incorrect fuel in his Wrose. He was situated nearby thus I was with him before long. Just as I arrived behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on something else and failed to perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on any harm because of starting it?" I determined that there probably should not be any damage and that also I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel quickly. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and so another content motorist had the ability to continue on their trip with no bother. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what tends to make earning a living on weekends just that small bit better in my opinion!



Causes and Obvious Symptoms

You will likely have just encountered the signs of having the wrong fuel in your vehicle, but in the heat of the moment, you may not have taken them all in so here they are again for future reference, just in case:

  • The engine won't run and it's spluttering
  • The exhaust releases lots of smoke
  • Even you totally press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
  • The car will stop on its own

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!



We learn from experiences and mistakes so we should not get too down so much whenever we face such scenarios since they make us more careful and equip us with the appropriate mentality and abilities on how to handle such problems in future.

But there are means in which you can avoid being in similar situation once again and they include not being in a hurry, concentrating when filling up, and avoiding being in a strange car which you are not used to traveling in.

Your fuel might also be contaminated with water

A sputtering engine with low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. You should know that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your vehicle uses diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine resulting in an untimely stop.

Diesel engines (modern ones) today use AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollution in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of correct ratio to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank attached somewhere. If you get someone to directly add this to your tank without knowing the proper procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine. The signs you will observe is just like what were cited above but don't fret we get it fixed. So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can almost certainly help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.


Diesel or petrol being very flammable needs to be managed by a professional with the right tools. Otherwise, the fuel may ignite and what initially was easy to contain may turn into a problem.

Wrong Fuel in Car Wrose - Petrol in Diesel Car Wrose

A relatively concerned driver phoned us from the Texaco petrol station to tell us that he put unleaded in his diesel Wrose; he wasn't really certain how he'd done it. We informed him it was not a hassle and soon had our engineer with him to clear the contaminated fuel from his vehicle. Having removed the bad fuel, he was swiftly back rolling again. He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the guy who appeared to take care of the fuel drain was very excellent - he didn't make me feel a fool."

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 VAT 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.
