The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DE65 Postcode - Findern Misfueling

What a quality night's sleep! 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and we were en route to assist an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel clean white Fiat Ulysse in Findern. She informed us that she had left the filling station and stranded along a country road en route to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she said, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd only just purchased it several days ago after my previous car, which I had for over 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Derbyshire woman!

I had appreciated a great day cycling on my off day and was feeling contented the following morning as I was on the way to aid a new family who were on vacation in Findern. They stopped after putting petrol into their cream Volkswagen GLI, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so stupid. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this problem takes place frequently in Derbyshire and that it is nothing at all to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his missus. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyways, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally 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 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.
