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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may well lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases pretty expediently.

It truly was what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to 3:30 in the morning and nobody was stirring. It had become rather uneventful up to now, and me and Paul were sitting around reading some old magazines. This was an uncommon restful moment in Leicestershire. It was that tranquil that when the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The customer on the phone told me: "I only just completed my overnight shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel trusty Volvo C70 in error". I told him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was and we hit the road, arriving in Glenfield only 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for coming so rapidly. While we were heading back home we noticed two girls at the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a flat. As a result we pulled over to change it, 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.
