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 or diesel, is usually an important issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases pretty simply.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

I appreciated a terrific day golfing on my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful the next working day as I set off to help a young couple who were away in Poplar. They had stopped after filling petrol in their spotless Volvo, and were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on continuously in Redbridge and that it's in reality nothing at all to get worried about, however he all the same had his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove away I waved goodbye and thought about what my missus would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and almost noone was around. It had become quite dead until now, and me and Brian were relaxing reading through several old articles. This was an uncommon calm hour in Redbridge. It was indeed so peaceful that the moment the telephone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the other end explained: "I have finished my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a creamy white Ford". We asked him to inform us where he was located and we set off, arriving in Poplar not as much as an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the engine. He said thank you for coming out so fast. As we were coming back home we noticed two girls on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled over to help them 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.
