The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations rather swiftly.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car Greater Manchester - Petrol in Diesel Car Urmston

Now I am not actually that inclined to working on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just departed home after eating a magnificent dinner cooked for me by the missus, and I was on my way to assist a man who put the wrong petrol in his bright red Vauxhall Corsa. He was located in Urmston and so I arrived with him soon. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my attention on something else and didn't realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused problems because of starting it?" I explained that truth be told there should not be any kind of damage and also that I'd drain the contaminated fuel quickly. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and so yet another contented motorist was able to carry on with his journey without any subsequent difficulty. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what helps make operating on weekends in Greater Manchester that little bit better for me!

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.
