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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases quite quickly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

This was certainly what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around dawn and noone was about. It had become rather quiet so far, and Ray and I were loafing around reading a number of old magazines. That was a rare peaceful hour in Lincolnshire. It was in fact so calm that the moment the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The customer on the phone explained: "I have just ended my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in the diesel compact Vauxhall Bedford in error". I asked him to inform us just where he was and we left, getting to him in Swinstead an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming out so quickly. As we were going back to base we saw two girls on the side of the road who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled up and helped 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 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.
