The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Euxton

I'm not that keen on doing the job weekends, and a while back was the same. I had only just come away from the family filled with a tasty roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was off to help a man after he filled the incorrect fuel in his mum's Mitsubishi Endeavor. He was stationed in Euxton hence I arrived there soon. As I arrived at the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my thoughts on other things and failed to perceive I had put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused some damage through driving it?" I stated that truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and that I'd remove the contaminated fuel quickly. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and thus another happy motorist had the ability to carry on with their ride without any subsequent fuss. The man could not stop thanking me, and that helps make working on Sundays in Lancashire a little bit less painful in my opinion!

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.
