The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Birch Vale (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car. They will deal with the standard troubles which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations rather simply.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Birch Vale - Wrong Fuel in Car Birch Vale

I had a fantastic day cycling during my afternoon off and felt contented the next working day as I was en route to help a new couple on holiday in Birch Vale. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their red Kia Sedona, and they were around half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and laughed while I listened to the lady berating her spouse for being so daft. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this takes place on a regular basis in Derbyshire and that it's really nothing to fret about, even so he yet still got an earful. Poor chap. At any rate, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive off I waved so long and wondered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Birch Vale

We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval exercise on the drive of a spectacular residence in Birch Vale recently. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to very nearly reach home when my car quit." Our fuel drainer went out, regardless that it was fairly late at night, and carried out a full fuel drain and purge on the mint condition Fiat Ulysse to everyone's satisfaction.

A man phoned us from his uncle's Mercedes SLK-Class where he had conked out on the congested street. "I erroneously put unleaded in my diesel car and I ultimately found out all about it a number of miles down the road!" Happily we were in a position to have an fuel drainer out to him in a reasonably short time, considering the traffic, and he was shortly back on the road.

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.
