The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank will produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases rather quickly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Spion Kop - Wrong Fuel in Car Spion Kop

I had a fantastic day hiking during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a young couple who were vacationing in Spion Kop. They'd broken down after inserting diesel in their racing green Toyota Prius, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the woman berating her hubby for turning out to be so silly. "How could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this situation comes to pass continuously in Nottinghamshire and that it's really nothing to stress about, nonetheless he all the same got his ear bent. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyways, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted good bye and wondered what my wife would say to me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
