Mark and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Sedlescombe and put petrol in her diesel work's Volkswagen rental car by mistake. She was quite affected apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!"

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly 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 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.
