The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

They are also able to take care of the standard problems that may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A rather alarmed motorist called us from the BP filling station at Norfolk to inform us that he had put unleaded into his diesel khaki green Audi Coupe GT; he wasn't really sure how he'd done it. We told him it was no situation and before long had our fuel drainer out to him to clean the contaminated fuel from his tank. Having purged the wrong fuel, he was shortly back driving.

Wrong Fuel Assist Guestwick - Wrong Fuel in Car Guestwick

I had enjoyed a fantastic afternoon fishing on my holiday and was feeling delighted the following day as I set out to assist a young couple on vacation in Guestwick. They conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their beautiful Kia Sorento, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the gal berating her partner for being so confused. "How could you possibly find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass quite frequently in Norfolk and that it's nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyhow, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed so long and wondered what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the same error... I'd personally never live it down!

Tales from our own Guestwick mechanics:

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Guestwick

Now I'm not ever very hot for carrying out work Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd just left the wife and kids filled with a lovely lunch prepared for me by the missus, and I was en route to help a guy after he filled the incorrect petrol in his dad's Lexus IS-F. He was located in Guestwick and so I was there rapidly. As I drove up at the rear of the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on other stuff and failed to grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on some harm simply by starting it?" I said generally there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I'd drain the contaminated fuel at once. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and so yet another pleased customer was able to carry on with their journey with no difficulty. He could not stop thanking me, and this helps make operating on Sundays in Norfolk a tiny bit easier to me!

It truly was what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was around dawn and noone was about. It had become pretty dead so far, and me and Paul were relaxing reading a number of old papers. That was an unusual tranquil time in Norfolk. It was indeed so tranquil that the moment the phone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the phone said: "I just finished my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel beloved Audi A3 by mistake". I told him to tell us just where he was and we headed out, arriving in Guestwick 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the engine and he said thanks a lot for showing up so quickly. While we were heading back to base we saw two ladies at the edge of the road who looked like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we got out to change it, much 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.
