It was just before six pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there discussing the recent sports results, ready for the seventh telephone call to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Shaw and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dad's Mercedes SLK55 AMG hire car in error. The poor thing was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to her right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Wiltshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SN12 Postcode - Shaw Misfueling

A motorist had broken down on a street, Shaw having just misfueled. She was crying and quite troubled as she had put £50 of petrol in her diesel car. When she contacted us we attempted to cool her as best we could, assuring her that all would be fine. By the time we got to her she was no longer troubled and was pretty interested in watching our engineer complete the fuel drain on her blue Honda. Afterwards she said: "My car is like my baby, I just bought it and it truly freaked me out that I had put such an abundance of wrong fuel in it. I'm terribly happy that it was so easily fixable."

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.
