It was around six pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's golf, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Westgate and filled petrol in a diesel mustard yellow Audi A6 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this can happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from us, we could find the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living in.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations rather easily.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet 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.
