Paul and I were sitting there discussing the recent rugby results, ready for the 8th call that day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Lower Burton and put petrol in her diesel mint condition Skoda Octavia rental car. The poor thing was rather agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this often happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Lower Burton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will fix any of the typical troubles which might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations quite easily.

You should know that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

This really was the night shift. It was about 3:30am and almost noone was about. It had been pretty quiet so far, and Ray and I were relaxing reading a couple of old papers. That was a rare peaceful time in Herefordshire. Actually it was indeed so calm that when the telephone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the phone stated: "I've only just finished my night shift and stupidly put petrol in a white Alfa Romeo Spider by mistake". I got him to tell us where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, reaching him in Lower Burton no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the engine and he thanked us profusely for showing up so fast. While we were returning home we noticed two young ladies at the edge of the street who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their delight.

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.
