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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Great Lumley - Wrong Fuel in Car Great Lumley

I'd had a fantastic evening golfing during my off day and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I set off to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Great Lumley. They pulled over after filling diesel into their brother's Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG, and they were roughly an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing happens frequently in County Durham and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I did the very same thing... I would never 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 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.
