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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Bowburn

A youngster who had only recently passed his test had wrong fueled his canary yellow Mitsubishi by putting petrol in the diesel car at the filling station near Bowburn. He said, "This is only the third occasion I have filled up my vehicle from the time when I bought it and I have no clue of how to handle it." He was scared as his dad had only just paid for the car. He came across us on the internet and so called it right away, scared about what he should do. Our guy on the telephones explained to him that we could be on scene in forty five minutes and to not do anything to the car while waiting.

This was certainly what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to 2 in the morning and noone was stirring. It had become rather quiet so far, and me and John were relaxing reading through a few old articles. This was an unusual tranquil time in County Durham. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that the moment my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The voice on the opposite end explained: "I've concluded my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in a diesel cyan Toyota Land Cruiser in error". We asked him to let us know where the car was situated and we set off, ending up in Bowburn less than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He said thank you for getting there so promptly. While we were coming back home we noticed two young ladies at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. So we pulled over and helped them change it, 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 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.
