The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and we were off to help an elder woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel navy blue Seat in Caunton. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a rural road on route to visit her family. I got her location punched in the Satnav and got there in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd just acquired it a short while ago because my former car, which I'd owned for about 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a lovely Nottinghamshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Caunton

Now I'm not necessarily too interested in working weekends, and a while back was the same. I'd only just departed the wife and kids after having a wonderful Sunday roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was en route to assist a guy who had filled the wrong fuel in his bright red Seat Exeo. He was somewhere in Caunton therefore I was there very quickly. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my mind on something else and did not perceive I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought about any kind of harm as a result of starting it?" I stated generally there should not be problems and also I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel quickly for him. Naturally I removed the fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and thus one more pleased motorist had the ability to continue on his traveling without the bother. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is what helps make operating on Sundays in Nottinghamshire 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 VAT 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.
