The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances pretty expediently.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

I enjoyed a wonderful day golfing during my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the following day as I was en route to aid a new couple who were away in Honor Oak. They had pulled over after filling diesel in their Ferarri red Nissan Armada, and they were approximately an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smiled while I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this problem happens regularly in Lewisham and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, however he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and thought about what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Honor Oak

I'm not ever overly excited about running on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the family filled with a lovely lunch prepared for us by the wife, and I was off to sort out a gentleman because he filled the wrong fuel in his customised Nissan 350Z Roadster. He was only in Honor Oak hence it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and started work he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my concentration on something else and failed to perceive I have put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted some problems by running it?" I determined that generally there shouldn't be harm and that also I'd personally get the fuel drained at once for him. As expected I drained the fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and thus one more satisfied customer could continue his ride with no bother. The guy did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what helps make operating on weekends in Lewisham that tiny bit easier for me personally!

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.
