It was around 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the recent golf rankings, prepared for the seventh job for the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in South Lopham and put petrol in her diesel daughter's Volvo C70 rental car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was just a short distance off from us, we could reach the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

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.
