The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances very simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

I got there at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling off her man for being so foolish.

I attempted to explain that this kind of thing happens continuously in Dorset and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Hillbourne

Now I'm not ever too keen on doing the job on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had only just left the family after having a lovely roast made for me by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a man after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his faithful BMW 330. He was situated in Hillbourne and so I arrived on scene almost immediately. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on stuff and did not grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought on any kind of problems simply by running it?" I revealed that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of damage and that I would get the wrong fuel drained immediately for him. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and so yet another delighted client could continue their trip without the need for hassle. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and that can make earning a living on Sundays in Dorset just that little bit better to me!

Here's a list of usual wrong fuel signs and symptoms:

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.
