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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Norfolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.

He was somewhere in Shelfanger hence it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I arrived behind the car and started work he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on other considerations and did not ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any damage simply by starting it?" I determined generally there should not be any kind of harm and also I would drain the fuel right away for him. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and thus one more delighted client had the ability to carry on with his traveling with no hassle.

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.
