It was just before eight pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th call that day to come in. Before long we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Knocklaw and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel sky blue VW Touareg rental in error. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, as it was just a few miles from our van, we could get to her almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Northumberland done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations pretty expediently.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car Knocklaw

We fairly recently got a call about a young man who had put the incorrect fuel in his dark blue Peugeot 309 in Knocklaw. He had conked out on the street. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the issue till the time it broke down. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning again. I was happy due to both how swift you were and your rates". Of course we arrived on the scene punctually and flushed the engine after flushing all the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival the engineer said the driver was fuming, but was grinning his face off when we finished.

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was close to 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It was rather dead up to now, and Mark and I were loafing around reading through some old newspapers. This was an uncommon peaceful hour in Northumberland. It was that quiet that when my mobile finally rang I jumped! The motorist on the other end stated: "I have finished my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in a expensive Mazda". We instructed him to tell us just where he was situated and we left, ending up in Knocklaw only 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He thanked us for coming so rapidly. While we were coming back to the office we spotted two young women on the side of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we stopped to change it, to their delight.

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.
