The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

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:

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • 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.

  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.
