The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Just had a great night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and I was off to help an old lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel luxury Jaguar XJ in Ickwell Green. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural lane along the way to see her godchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and arrived within an hour. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had just got it a short while ago after my previous one, which I had used for more than 30 years, eventually died on me". I got the drain completed and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Bedfordshire woman!

A gentleman called us from Ickwell Green to say he pumped unleaded in to his diesel son's Fiat. "Shocking! How could I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It only took the engineer approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel out of the car. He totally flushed the fuel system and after that put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him dealer rates to get the job professionally done.

Now I'm not ever overly keen on doing the job on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left the family following a fantastic lunch prepared for me by the missus, and I was off to sort out a fellow after he had put the wrong fuel in his beloved Audi R8. He was somewhere in Ickwell Green and so I arrived with him quickly. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the car and started work he said to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I inflicted some problems as a result of starting it?" I said truth be told there shouldn't be harm and that also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained right away. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and yet another contented customer could continue on his traveling without bother. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what helps make earning a living on weekends in Bedfordshire just that small bit less painful to me!

This was the graveyard shift. It was around 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had become pretty uneventful so far, and me and Mark were loafing looking at several old articles. It was an uncommon quiet time in Bedfordshire. Actually it was that calm that the moment the phone eventually rang it made me start! The voice on the other end stated: "I have finished my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in a diesel work's Saab 9-4X in error". I told him to tell us just where the vehicle was situated and we set off, arriving in Ickwell Green under half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thanks for showing up so fast. As we were returning to the office we found two young women on the edge of the street who looked like they had a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their elation.

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.
