The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank is likely to produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Ickornshaw

Now I'm not very interested in carrying out work on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just come away from home following a fantastic dinner prepared for us by the better half, and I was on my way to sort out a man because he put the incorrect petrol in his clean white Volvo960. He was only in Ickornshaw thus it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I drove up at the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my mind on other stuff and did not perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused some damage simply by running it?" I stated that there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained at once. As expected I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and thus another contented client could carry on with their journey without bother. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that helps make operating on weekends in North Yorkshire just that tiny bit easier in my opinion!

This was the graveyard shift. It was around sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It had become fairly uneventful until now, and Brian and I were loafing around looking at a few old magazines. That was an unusual quiet hour in North Yorkshire. Actually it was in fact so tranquil that when the phone finally rang I jumped! The voice said: "I concluded my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in a diesel metallic red Kia Spectra". We asked him to let us know just where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, ending up in Ickornshaw only an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming out so rapidly. As we were coming back to the depot we spotted two girls on the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

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.
