It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were resting talking over the football results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Coltishall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel faithful Cadillac Seville lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and less worried. Another fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

I had enjoyed a fantastic afternoon golfing during my off day and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I set out to aid a young couple vacationing in Coltishall. They'd pulled over after filling diesel in their boss' Ford Taurus, and were close to half an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady chastising her husband for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this happens continuously in Norfolk and that it is nothing to worry about, however he all the same got an earful. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved so long and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if I made the exact same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was around 2 in the morning and noone was stirring. It had become pretty dead so far, and John and I were sitting about perusing a few old papers. This was an unusual calm hour in Norfolk. Actually it was in fact so tranquil that when the telephone finally rang I leaped! The motorist on the other end explained: "I've just completed my evening shift and foolishly put petrol in a diesel super Ford C-MAX Hybrid by mistake". I asked him to let us know exactly where the car was located and we set off, ending up in Coltishall under half an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the motor and he said thanks for coming so fast. While we were heading back to base we spotted two women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we stopped to 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.
