It was about 6 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were seated there going over the golf, at the ready for the next call for the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Epping Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Volvo lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things do happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, since it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to find the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and less anxious. A fuel drain in Essex done well in my mind!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be completely 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.
