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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

We can come to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and refill your vehicle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TN37 Postcode - Silverhill Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Sunday and we were on my way to assist an older woman after she had put petrol in her diesel light blue Citron DS3 in Silverhill. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and broken down in a backwater lane on route to visit her godchildren. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I arrived at the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she told me, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only bought it a week back when my former one, which I'd owned for more than twenty years, finally stopped working". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful East Sussex woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Silverhill

Now I'm certainly not very enthusiastic about doing the job weekends, and the other day was the same. I had only just departed the wife and kids following a tasty dinner cooked by the missus, and I was on the way to help a gentleman because he filled the incorrect fuel in his cobalt blue Bugatti Veyron. He was somewhere in Silverhill thus I arrived on scene very quickly. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my mind on other considerations and did not ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused any harm through running it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be any harm and also that I would personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus yet another delighted motorist had the ability to carry on with their trip with no fuss. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in East Sussex just that little bit better in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Silverhill - Fuel Rescue Silverhill

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become pretty uneventful up to now, and Paul and I were relaxing perusing some old articles. This was a rare restful time in East Sussex. It was so tranquil that when my mobile rang I jumped! The person on the opposite end explained: "I've only just completed my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in a expensive Volkswagen Eos by mistake". We asked him to inform us where the car was and we hit the road, reaching him in Silverhill less than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the motor and he said thank you for arriving so rapidly. As we were going back to base we saw two young ladies on the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled up 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 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.
