Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Hardwicke and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mint condition Hyundai Elantra rental in error. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately do happen.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel will often trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.

  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.
