The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

I had a wonderful evening hiking on my off day and felt pleased with myself the following day as I set out to aid a young family vacationing in Great Stambridge. They had stopped after adding petrol in their sunflower yellow Chrysler PT Cruiser, and the car was around an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and laughed while I listened to the lady chastising her hubby for being so silly. "How could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this takes place regularly in Essex and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, however he yet still had his ear bent by his wife. Poor guy. Anyways, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed goodbye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd never ever live it down!

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.
