The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases pretty quickly.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was around sunrise and almost noone was about. It was rather dead up to now, and me and John were relaxing browsing several old newspapers. This was an unusual tranquil time in Hertfordshire. Actually it was so peaceful that the moment the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The person on the phone stated: "I just finished my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my deep grey Mercedes-Benz Sprinter". We asked him to let us know just where the vehicle was and we left, ending up in Pirton no more than half an hour later. The fuel was removed from the car and he said many thanks for coming out so quickly. As we were returning home we spotted two women on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat. So we pulled up to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
