The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances quite swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hulcote

I'm not necessarily too interested in doing work Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd just departed the wife and kids after a fantastic Sunday roast made by the missus, and I was on my way to help a gentleman after he filled the wrong fuel in his company's Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. He was stationed in Hulcote hence it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I pulled up at the rear of the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my thoughts on stuff and failed to ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created any kind of harm as a result of starting it?" I explained that truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and that also I'd personally drain the fuel as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and so yet another happy motorist was able to continue his trip with no difficulty. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes earning a living on weekends in Bedfordshire just that little bit better to me!

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.
