The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases pretty quickly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

This really was what is called the night shift. It was about 2:30 in the morning and nobody was around. It was rather uneventful so far, and Mark and I were loafing around looking at a couple of old articles. It was an uncommon peaceful time in Derbyshire. It was indeed that quiet that the moment the telephone finally rang I leaped! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I've finished my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my diesel metallic yellow BMW Alpina B7 in error". I asked him to tell us just where the vehicle was and we hit the road, arriving in Heanor Gate under half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us for showing up so promptly. As we were returning home we saw two girls at the side of the street who seemed to have a puncture. So we stopped to help them change it, much 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 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.
