The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases quite quickly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

A relatively alarmed customer called us from the BP filling station at Lincolnshire to advise us that he had put unleaded into his diesel canary yellow BMW 525; he wasn't really quite certain how he'd managed to do it. We told him it was no problem and soon enough had our fuel drainer with him to clean the incorrect fuel from his vehicle. Having taken away the bad fuel, he was shortly back rolling again. He told us; "I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the person who was sent to carry out the fuel drain was incredibly excellent - he did not make me appear like a plonker."

Wrong Fuel Assist Fillingham - Wrong Fuel in Car Fillingham

I had appreciated a fantastic day cycling during my day off and was feeling pleased the following working day as I set out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Fillingham. They had pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their metallic grey Cadillac Fleetwood, and the car was approximately an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smirked as I listened to the girl chastising her partner for being so foolish. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this situation goes on on a regular basis in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, however he yet still got an ear bashing by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyways, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me if I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!

You are only a call from getting your misfuel situation resolved and being back on the road. Our UK-based phone lines are always open, including bank holidays, to answer your inquiries and assist to get you on the road once again. Get a fuel drain or assistance immediately:

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Fillingham

We did a wrong fuel removal job outside a lovely house in Fillingham not so long ago. "I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and was able to nearly reach home when my car stopped."

A motorist employed in Fillingham phoned us shortly after she managed to get her misfueled car to work. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel well worn Saab 9-4X and, like countless prior to her, assumed that she could just fill the vehicle with diesel and it would run fine. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she arrived at the the front of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted in an hour or so while she was in the office. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely delighted you sorted my car."

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.
