It was just after six pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were sitting discussing the recent tennis results, waiting around for the 8th job that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in St Helen Auckland and put the wrong fuel in her diesel light blue Mitsubishi L300 hire car in error. She was very agitated it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe area and, because it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel may well result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances rather easily.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly 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.
