It was around seven pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting there discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Thrandeston and put petrol in a diesel old Nissan JUKE rental. She was fairly affected apparently, stating "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things often happen.

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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Thrandeston

Now I am not actually so inclined to doing the job on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd just departed the family filled with a magnificent dinner cooked for us by the wife, and I was off to assist a man who had filled the incorrect petrol in his metallic blue BMW 760. He was located in Thrandeston hence it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on other things and didn't ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I caused problems by simply running it?" I explained there shouldn't be any kind of problems and also that I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel at once. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the suitable fuel, and then another happy customer was able to continue on their ride without any hassle. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this makes operating on Sundays in Suffolk just a little bit easier for me personally!

A customer working in Thrandeston contacted us as soon as she tried to get her misfueled car to the office. She had put unleaded in her diesel expensive Audi R8 and, like many people prior to her, assumed that she could simply fill the car with diesel and it'd run fine. The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved inside an hour whilst she was in the office. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely glad you repaired my car."

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.
