It was around five pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting talking over the golf, waiting around for the 8th job of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Woodfield and put petrol in her diesel maroon BMW 745 rental. The poor thing was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and much less stressed. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be totally 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.
  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.
