The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Stroud Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill the car. They will take care of the most common troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations fairly easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Stroud Green

Now I am certainly not that excited about carrying out work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids filled with a lovely Sunday roast cooked by the better half, and I was on the way to help a gentleman who had filled the wrong petrol in his uncle's Skoda Superb. He was only in Stroud Green and so it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and didn't grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I created some problems by simply driving it?" I determined that truth be told there probably should not be harm and that I would get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the correct fuel, and then another content customer could carry on with their trip without any subsequent difficulty. He did not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Essex a tiny bit easier in my opinion!

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.
