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


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Stonegravels (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also fix the usual troubles that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel can potentially produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

A driver from Stonegravels with her youngsters in her diesel light blue Fiat Ulysse had put £50 of petrol at the Co Op station.

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.
