The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can potentially cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations quite easily.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Run Out of Fuel Support

A woman employed in Sandhurst called us after she managed to get her misfueled automobile to her office. She had put petrol in her diesel well worn Lexus IS F and, like plenty before her, assumed that she could just fill her tank with diesel and it'd be no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she arrived at the the front of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed in an hour or so while she was at work. She came out afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm really glad you fixed my vehicle."

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.
