It was before 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and me were sitting talking about the footy, ready for the seventh call to arrive. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Ribbleton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel gorgeous Mitsubishi Expo rental in error. She was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet 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 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.
