It was close to 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's football results, ready for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Marlborough and put petrol in her diesel silver BMW 545 rental in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel may lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases rather quickly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

This really was what we call an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had become pretty uneventful so far, and John and I were relaxing reading a couple of old papers. It was a rare calm moment in Wiltshire. Actually it was that tranquil that when the phone finally rang it made me jump! The motorist on the phone told me: "I've only just completed my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel well worn Cadillac STS-V". We instructed him to tell us where he was situated and we headed out, ending up in Marlborough only an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He said thank you for getting there so rapidly. As we were going back to base we found two ladies at the edge of the highway who looked like they had a puncture. So we pulled up 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 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.
