The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations rather simply.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Norfolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Heydon

Now I am not actually too hot for doing work on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had only just come away from home after a superb roast cooked by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a man who filled the incorrect fuel in his white Honda Civic Si. He was only in Heydon thus it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I drove up at the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my thoughts on other things and did not realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I caused any damage through driving it?" I said there should not be any harm and that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained at once for him. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled it with the suitable fuel, and then one more delighted motorist had the ability to carry on with his ride without fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what helps make working on weekends in Norfolk that tiny bit easier for me!

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.
