The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases rather quickly.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

I appreciated a perfect evening golfing on my holiday and felt satisfied the following morning as I set off to help a new couple on holiday in Rushford. They had conked out after putting petrol into their super Vauxhall Astra, and the car was about an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife telling off her partner for being so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing goes on all the time in Norfolk and that it's really nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he still got an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!

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.
