The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will often cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases pretty simply.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Loxford - Fuel Rescue Loxford

This was certainly an unsociable time to be up. It was about 3 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It was quite dead so far, and me and Paul were relaxing looking through a few old papers. It was a rare quiet time in Redbridge. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that the moment the phone rang I jumped! The customer told me: "I have ended my overnight shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my diesel bright red Skoda Yeti by mistake". I instructed him to let us know just where the car was situated and we set off, ending up in Loxford no more than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He said many thanks for coming so rapidly. As we were going back home we noticed two ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. So we pulled up to change it, 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.
