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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Now I am certainly not overly excited about doing work weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after a lovely Sunday roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was on my way to deal with a fellow who put the wrong fuel in his buff Mercedes-Benz C-Class. He was stationed in Thorpe thus it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. As I pulled up at the rear of the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on other things and didn't grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I caused some problems by driving it?" I explained that truth be told there probably should not be any kind of problems and also that I'd personally get the fuel drained right away for him. As expected I removed the fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then one more happy motorist could continue on their trip without difficulty. The gentleman could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what can make carrying out work on Sundays in North Yorkshire a little better to me!

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.
