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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can certainly result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

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

Now I'm certainly not excessively keen on doing the job Sundays, and last week was the same. I had just departed home following a lovely lunch cooked for me by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a fellow after he had filled the wrong petrol in his canary yellow Fiat Uno. He was situated in Burnhope and so it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up right behind the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my attention on something else and failed to perceive I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused harm by running it?" I determined truth be told there shouldn't be any damage and that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I drained the fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus another contented customer could continue his journey without bother. He could not stop thanking me, and that can make operating on Sundays in County Durham that little better for me personally!

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.
