It was just after 7 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting going over the footy, ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Fonthill Gifford and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dirty red Seat Exeo rental car by mistake. She was rather affected it seemed, crying "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases very expediently.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Fonthill Gifford

Now I'm not too inclined to doing the job on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids following a magnificent Sunday roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman because he put the incorrect petrol in his apple green Audi R8. He was only in Fonthill Gifford so it wasn't long before I reached him. As I arrived behind the car and started work he told me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on other stuff and did not perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted harm by simply driving it?" I said that there shouldn't be harm and that I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel quickly for him. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and thus yet another delighted client had the ability to continue on their ride without any subsequent bother. The guy could not stop thanking me, and that is what helps make working on Sundays in Wiltshire that little easier for me!

A motorist who had sadly put unleaded in his diesel daughter's Volvo C70 phoned us for a fuel drain at the petrol filling station in Fonthill Gifford. He decided to fill up before going on to the nearby caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded rather than diesel which probably wasn't a good way to begin to our vacation." It was certainly no trouble by any means for our fuel drainer to go out and do the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good holiday break.

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.
