It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the recent golf rankings, ready for the next call for the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Anwick and filled petrol in her diesel brand new Smart Fortwo rental car by mistake. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we could reach the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. One more job in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather quickly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

A customer had come to a halt on a road, Anwick having just wrong fueled. She was sobbing and fairly troubled as she had put £42 of petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we made an effort to calm her as well as we could, telling her that all would be no problem. When we arrived with her she was not aggrieved any more and was rather fascinated in watching our fuel drainer perform the fuel drain on her partner's Cadillac Allante.

I'm really gratified that it was very easily repairable."

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Anwick

I am not excessively keen on carrying out work Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just left the wife and kids after a magnificent lunch prepared for me by the missus, and I was on my way to help a guy who had put the wrong petrol in his aunt's Saab 9-4X. He was located in Anwick so I was on scene almost immediately. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and stepped out he told me "Thank God! I incredibly had my thoughts on other considerations and did not ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about damage as a result of running it?" I revealed truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained at once. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and so another satisfied customer had the ability to continue on their journey without fuss. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what can make working on Sundays in Lincolnshire that tiny bit less painful for me personally!

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.
