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 or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can easily produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SP8 Postcode - Bourton Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Monday and we were on the way to assist an old lady after she put petrol in her diesel father's MINI Countryman in Bourton. I had been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a country lane en route to pay a visit to her family. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had just got it a few days ago when my other one, which I had used for more than twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious Dorset lady!

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.
