The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Dorset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

This was certainly what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly sunrise and noone was stirring. It had become rather dead until now, and Paul and I were loafing around browsing a few old articles. It was an uncommon calm moment in Dorset. It was that peaceful that the moment my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The voice on the other end told me: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in my metallic blue Mercedes-Benz SL-Class in error". We asked him to let us know exactly where the car was situated and we hit the road, reaching him in Knowlton half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He said many thanks for arriving so quickly. While we were heading back to the office we found two young ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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.
