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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations very expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

I had a great day golfing on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I was en route to aid a young family who were on vacation in Great Parndon. They'd broken down after adding diesel in their light blue Ford Transit Connect, and they were around an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal chastising her spouse for being so confused. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this goes on on a regular basis in Essex and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and wondered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Great Parndon

I am not actually so keen on doing work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had only just come away from home after eating a wonderful lunch cooked for me by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a fellow after he put the wrong fuel in his winter grey Volkswagen Passat. He was only in Great Parndon so I was there almost immediately. Just as I pulled up behind the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on something else and did not perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I created harm as a result of running it?" I explained that there shouldn't be any kind of problems and also that I'd drain the fuel immediately for him. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and then one more content customer was able to continue on their ride without the hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is actually what tends to make working on weekends in Essex just that little bit easier for me personally!

A woman from Great Parndon with a full car of youngsters in her diesel modern Mercedes Sprinter 2500 had put £20 of petrol at the station. She contacted us sobbing and very distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We assured her that the car should be ok and that she would be ready to go quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the kids in the back."

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:

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • 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.
