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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Aykley Heads

I am not very excited about working on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just departed the wife and kids after having a wonderful dinner made for me by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a guy because he put the wrong petrol in his yellow Volkswagen Tiguan. He was stationed in Aykley Heads hence I was there very quickly. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Thank God! I had my thoughts on other things and did not realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on some damage simply by starting it?" I explained that there should not be any kind of damage and that also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and so one more content motorist was able to carry on with his trip without the fuss. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and this makes working on Sundays in County Durham a little less painful to me!

We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted within an hour or so while she was working.

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 VA 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.
