The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel is going to result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NR15 Postcode - Hempnall Green Misfueling

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Sunday and I was on the way to help an old lovely lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel sky blue Ford Focus in Hempnall Green. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she explained, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd just bought it a couple of days back after my old car, which I used for more than 25 years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks. What a precious Norfolk lady!

This was certainly what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around sunrise and nobody was about. It was pretty dead up to now, and Ryan and I were loafing looking through some old papers. This was an unusual calm time in Norfolk. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the moment the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice said: "I have completed my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel wife's Ford in error". I got him to tell us just where the vehicle was and we headed out, ending up in Hempnall Green under an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming so quickly. While we were going back home we saw two women on the side of the highway who appeared to have a puncture.

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.
