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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

We a few weeks ago received a phone call from a motorist who had put the wrong fuel in his metallic grey Ford Transit in Headley Down. He had conked out on the road.

As you can imagine we appeared rapidly and purged the engine after draining all of the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank.

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had become quite uneventful until now, and me and Paul were loafing around reading through several old articles. It was an unusual restful time in Hampshire. Actually it was in fact so tranquil that when my mobile ultimately rang I jumped! The voice told me: "I've only just ended my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel grey Nissan 350Z Roadster in error". I instructed him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was situated and we set off, arriving in Headley Down not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car. He said thank you for coming so quickly. As we were returning to the office we noticed two girls at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result 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 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.
