The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Wednesday and I was off to assist an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel creamy white Mercedes CL-Class in Putney Heath. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station and was stranded along a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I'd only purchased it a short while ago because my other car, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a lovely Wandsworth lady!

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.
