The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in UB9 Postcode - Harefield Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on the way to help an elder lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel yellow Jaguar in Harefield. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a country road on the way to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she told me, "I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only just acquired it a short while back when my other car, which I'd had for about twenty years, finally died". I got the drain completed and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. What a precious Hillingdon woman!

This was the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had become rather uneventful thus far, and Ryan and I were loafing reading some old papers. This was an uncommon restful time in Hillingdon. It was so peaceful that the moment the phone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The voice said: "I've ended my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a black Suzuki Verona in error". We asked him to tell us where the car was and we hit the road, arriving in Harefield less than an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He said many thanks for getting there so fast. While we were coming back home we noticed two ladies at the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat. So we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

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.
