The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances very quickly.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Wednesday and we were en route to assist an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel clean white Renault Traffic in Sandsend. She told us that she had left the filling station and broken down in a backwater road on the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I reached the location and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was working she said to me, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd just bought it a short while back right after my other car, which I owned for in excess of thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a precious North Yorkshire woman!

A couple of days ago a gentleman telephoned us when his boss' Volvo V40 stopped in the middle of a road in Sandsend. He had inadvertently put the incorrect fuel in the diesel vehicle and got as far as the road before having to pull over. It was still in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives locally, arrived with him in approximately 20 minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, especially at 5 a.m., I truly appreciate it."

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

We not too long ago got a call about a young man who had put the wrong fuel in his raspberry red Audi RS 4 in Sandsend. He had conked out on the road. "I was pleasantly surprised at how fast you people were in having a fuel drainer out to help me when I foolishly filled my diesel car with petrol. I'm very grateful". As you can imagine we arrived rapidly and purged the engine after flushing the petrol from the diesel tank. On arrival our engineer said the client was fuming, but was very happy after the fuel drain.

This really was what is called the graveyard shift. It was close to 2:30am and nobody was about. It had become rather quiet so far, and me and Ray were loafing about looking at several old papers. It was an uncommon restful time in North Yorkshire. It was so relaxing that the moment my mobile inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the other end told me: "I've just ended my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in the diesel green Skoda Fabia". I asked him to tell us where exactly the car was situated and we hit the road, getting to him in Sandsend not as much as half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he said thanks a lot for arriving so rapidly. As we were coming back home we saw two young ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their delight.

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.
