It was about 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Lache and put the wrong fuel in her diesel teal Audi RS4 rental car. The poor thing was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Cheshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations very expediently.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be completely wet 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.
