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


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Benwick (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They can also handle any of the usual issues that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations rather quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Benwick - Wrong Fuel in Car Benwick

I'd had a perfect afternoon golfing on my off day and felt cheerful the following working day as I set off to assist a young family who were away in Benwick. They'd pulled over after putting petrol in their yellow Audi A7, and were around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and laughed while I heard to the gal telling her man off for actually being so foolish. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs on a regular basis in Cambridgeshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he yet still got his ear bent by his better half. I felt sorry for the lad. At any rate, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would do to me if 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.
