It was before six pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the recent tennis results, at the ready for the seventh job of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Sand and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel compact Toyota Corolla rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was only a few miles from the office, we could reach the woman right away. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and less concerned. A fuel drain in Somerset done well in my books!

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 without question a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may well cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
