The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very easily.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Run out of fuel in Hopperton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your automobile. They will deal with any of the standard issues that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car in HG5 Postcode - Hopperton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Monday and I was on the way to assist an elder lady after she had put petrol in her diesel grey Mitsubishi Eclipse in Hopperton. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down on a country lane on route to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and removed the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing it she said to me, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd just got it a short while ago after my former car, which I had owned for in excess of 25 years, eventually broke down". I completed the job and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant North Yorkshire woman!

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.
