It was just after 7 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were resting talking about the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the seventh job of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Newtown and put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic blue Kia Sedona rental car by mistake. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately can happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases pretty expediently.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely 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.
