It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting talking over the weekend's footy results, prepared for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Ibstone and filled petrol in her diesel work's BMW 645 hire car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Another job in Buckinghamshire well done 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 petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may well lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations rather simply.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ibstone - Wrong Fuel in Car Ibstone

I'd had a fantastic day hiking during my day off and felt cheerful with myself the next day as I set out to help a young couple on holiday in Ibstone. They had stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their bright white BMW X6 M, and were approximately an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling off her husband for being so silly. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing happens quite frequently in Buckinghamshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he yet still got an earful by his wife. Poor boy. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!

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.
