The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations fairly simply.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Havering to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RM14 Postcode - Upminster Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Tuesday and I was on the way to help an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel modified Cadillac Seville in Upminster. I'd been advised she drove away from the petrol station and was pulled up along a rural road on route to visit her family. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she told me, "I have been getting quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it a couple of days ago when my previous one, which I'd used for about 30 years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Havering woman!

We reassured her that all should be okay and that she would be in action very quickly.

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.
