It was just before 7 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were sitting talking about the rugby rankings, waiting for the next telephone call to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Bottom of Hutton and put petrol in her diesel husband's Kia Soul rental. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, because it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and less anxious. A fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank will likely result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations pretty expediently.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

They had pulled over after adding petrol in their dark green BMW 745, and the car was approximately an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed while I heard to the woman telling her partner off for turning out to be so foolish.

I tried to clarify that this problem happens on daily basis in Lancashire and that it's nothing to stress about, nonetheless he yet still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap.

This really was what is called the night shift. It was around 3 in the morning and nobody was around. It was pretty dead up to now, and me and Ray were loafing about looking through a few old newspapers. This was an unusual peaceful time in Lancashire. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that when the phone rang it made me start! The person on the opposite end told me: "I have only just completed my overnight shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the clean white Seat Leon by mistake". I told him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was situated and we left, getting to him in Bottom of Hutton an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the engine. He thanked us for arriving so rapidly. As we were returning to the depot we saw two ladies on the edge of the street who looked like they had a flat. As a result we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.

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 VA 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.
