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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important situation to take care of in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LU6 Postcode - Dunstable Misfueling

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Saturday and we were on my way to assist an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel wife's Jeep Comanche in Dunstable. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a rural lane on the way to see her family. I popped her location in the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she said, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only just bought it a week back right after my other one, which I had owned for more than 25 years, finally stopped working". I got the drain done and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Bedfordshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Dunstable - Wrong Fuel in Car Dunstable

I enjoyed a fantastic evening hiking during the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I set off to aid a new family who were on vacation in Dunstable. They had stopped after putting diesel in their dad's Hyundai HED-5, and were around half an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed as I heard to the wife berating her man for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this happens on a regular basis in Bedfordshire and that it's nothing to get worried about, even so he still had an earful. I felt sorry for the chap. In any case, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

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.
