The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel can easily lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BS32 Postcode - Old Down Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on my way to help an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel modified BMW Z4 M in Old Down. I'd been told she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down in a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only purchased it a short while back when my former car, which I had for in excess of 25 years, eventually died on me". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Gloucestershire woman!

We performed a wrong fuel removal exercise outside a beautiful house in Old Down a few weeks ago. "I had put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and managed to virtually get home when my car broke down."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Old Down - Fuel Rescue Old Down

A customer from Old Down with a full car of children in her diesel navy blue Fiat Panda had put £45 of petrol at the filling station. She called us sobbing and extremely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that all should be okay and that she would be back ready to go soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! 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:

  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.
