It was after six pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting going over the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in The Mint and filled petrol in a diesel dark blue BMW X5 M lease car. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations very swiftly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be completely water-logged 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.
