The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations fairly easily.

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

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

I had a perfect afternoon golfing during my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I was on the way to help a new family who were holidaying in Latchford. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their compact Volvo, and they were close to half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal chastising her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this occurs on a regular basis in Oxfordshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, however he all the same got his ear bent. Poor lad. In any case, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

I am not actually too interested in doing work Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd just come away from the wife and kids after eating a tasty Sunday roast made for us by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his blue Mercedes S-Class. He was only in Latchford hence it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I drove up right behind the car and stepped out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on something else and didn't ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted any kind of damage simply by starting it?" I stated there probably should not be any kind of damage and also I would remove the wrong fuel immediately. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and another contented customer could continue on their journey without the hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that helps make working on Sundays in Oxfordshire a little bit easier for me!

It truly was the night shift. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was around. It was quite uneventful so far, and me and Mark were relaxing reading through some old articles. That was an unusual restful time in Oxfordshire. It was indeed so calm that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The voice on the other end explained: "I've ended my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in the stylish Jaguar in error". I told him to inform us just where he was situated and we headed out, ending up in Latchford not as much as an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the car. He thanked us for arriving so promptly. As we were returning home we found two young women at the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to help them 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 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.
