The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations rather easily.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

I had a perfect afternoon fishing on my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I set out to help a young couple who were on vacation in Chessington. They had broken down after adding petrol in their bright yellow Saab, and they were around an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smiled as I listened to the gal telling off her spouse for actually being so foolish. "How could you even find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass everyday in Hounslow and that it's truly nothing to be concerned about, but he still got an earful. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove off I waved so long and thought about what my missus would do to me if I made the very same error... I would never ever live it down!

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.
