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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases fairly easily.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Out of Fuel Service

We're able to get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home.

I'd had a wonderful day cycling on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next working day as I set out to help a young couple who were on vacation in Sawtry. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their maroon Suzuki Swift, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for actually being so silly. "How could you even find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this situation goes on constantly in Cambridgeshire and that it's nothing at all to stress about, and yet he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Poor guy. Anyways, I drained all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove off I waved farewell and wondered what my missus would do to me if I made the very same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

This was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly sunrise and almost noone was about. It was rather quiet thus far, and Ray and I were loafing around browsing a few old papers. This was an uncommon quiet time in Cambridgeshire. Actually it was in fact so calm that the moment my mobile rang I leaped! The voice stated: "I've just concluded my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel compact Skoda Octavia". We instructed him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was situated and we headed out, arriving in Sawtry under 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the engine. He said thanks a lot for coming out so promptly. As we were coming back home we found two young women at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we got out and helped them change it, much 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.
