The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances quite simply.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car Linbriggs

Now I am certainly not very hot for working on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd only just come away from home following a fantastic roast cooked by the wife, and I was en route to assist a guy after he filled the wrong petrol in his dirty red Cadillac DeVille. He was stationed in Linbriggs thus it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up at the vehicle and started work he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on stuff and didn't realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any harm by starting it?" I determined generally there probably should not be any kind of harm and also I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel right away for him. Obviously I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and then another satisfied motorist had the ability to continue his ride without any hassle. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what helps make working on weekends in Northumberland just a little bit better for me personally!

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.
