Ryan and me were relaxing discussing the recent golf rankings, waiting for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Midway and put the wrong fuel in a diesel burgundy red Seat Alhumbra rental. She was fairly affected it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances rather swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Assist Midway - Wrong Fuel in Car Midway

I had appreciated a fantastic afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I set off to assist a young couple on vacation in Midway. They had broken down after adding petrol in their gorgeous BMW Alpina B7, and were roughly an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal telling her man off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this situation occurs continuously in Somerset and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. While they drove off I waved bon voyage and thought about what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and almost noone was about. It had become quite uneventful until now, and Ray and I were sitting around browsing a couple of old magazines. That was an uncommon restful moment in Somerset. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that when the phone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The person stated: "I've only just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in the sunflower yellow Ford Transit in error". I told him to let us know where he was and we headed out, getting to him in Midway under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said thank you for arriving so quickly. While we were heading back to base we noticed two young ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a puncture. Obviously we stopped to change it, much 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.
