The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will often lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon fishing during my off day and felt contented with myself the following morning as I set off to help a new family on vacation in Plank Lane. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their apple green Austin Mini, and were around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smiled while I listened to the woman telling her husband off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this occurs regularly in Greater Manchester and that it is nothing at all to stress about, even so he yet still had his ear bent by his wife. Poor guy. In any case, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

I wouldn't like being stranded in a car filled with the wrong fuel in the middle of the street. Our most recent customer who filled her car with the wrong fuel (rugged Seat Alhumbra) in Plank Lane endured exactly this nightmare: "Unfortunately I incorrectly put unleaded in my diesel car recently.

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was around. It had been rather dead up to now, and John and I were loafing around browsing some old magazines. This was an unusual restful time in Greater Manchester. Actually it was that tranquil that when my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The customer on the phone explained: "I only just completed my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel dark green Audi Q7 by mistake". I told him to tell us where exactly he was located and we left, getting to him in Plank Lane not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the motor. He said thanks for arriving so rapidly. While we were heading back home we spotted two young women at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat. Obviously we stopped and helped them 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.
