It was just before 10 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were seated there talking over the footy, at the ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Old Stillington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel racing green Jeep Comanche lease car in error. The poor lady was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach her without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in County Durham well done in my mind!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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 VA 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.
