It was before 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting going over the recent footy rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in West Woodhay and put the wrong fuel in a diesel baby blue Jeep Comanche lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less concerned. A misfuel correction in Berkshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
