Brian and I were seated talking about the recent rugby, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Bunstead and filled petrol in her diesel modern Saab rental by mistake. She was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged 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.
