Brian and I were relaxing there commenting on the golf, ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Oxenwood and put the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's Renault Kangoo rental by mistake. She was very affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this do happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances rather expediently.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Oxenwood

I'm not necessarily too hot for working on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just left the wife and kids following a fantastic dinner prepared by the missus, and I was on the way to help a fellow who had filled the wrong fuel in his khaki green Peugeot Expert. He was somewhere in Oxenwood so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my thoughts on other stuff and did not perceive I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about any kind of damage by driving it?" I said truth be told there shouldn't be harm and that I'd personally get the fuel drained quickly. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and then one more contented motorist could continue their journey without any subsequent bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is what tends to make working on weekends in Wiltshire just a tiny bit better in my opinion!

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.
