It was about six pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated talking about the recent footy, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Lower Boddington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel uncle's Jeep Grand Cherokee hire car. She was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car to a protected space and, because it was just a few miles from the office, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged 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 VAT 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.
