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


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Brent Pelham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the standard problems which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather easily.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

A woman working in Brent Pelham contacted us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to her office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mate's Volvo240 and, like plenty before her, believed that she would be able to just top up her car with diesel and it would be alright. The engine was coughing and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her office.

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.
