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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

We can easily get out to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill the car. They will fix any of the standard issues that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

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.
