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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations pretty easily.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in OL5 Postcode - Hartshead Pike Misfueling

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Saturday and I was on the way to assist an old lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel beautiful Daihatsu Charade in Hartshead Pike. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up along a country lane on route to visit her godchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she explained, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd just acquired it several days ago after my old one, which I'd owned for about twenty years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. Such a pleasant Greater Manchester lady!

This was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It was pretty uneventful until now, and me and John were loafing about reading through a couple of old papers. It was an unusual restful time in Greater Manchester. It was in fact so calm that when my mobile eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the phone stated: "I have finished my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a creamy white Fiat Ulysse". I got him to inform us just where he was and we set off, ending up in Hartshead Pike less than half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said thanks for getting there so rapidly. As we were returning to base we noticed two young women on the edge of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

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 VA 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.
