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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TF8 Postcode - Hifnal Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and I was on my way to help an old sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel daughter's Lexus LX in Hifnal. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station and stranded on a backwater road en route to visit her godchildren. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour. I reached the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was working she explained, "I have been getting quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I'd only just purchased it a few days back when my previous one, which I had had for more than 30 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Shropshire woman!

This was an unsociable hour to be up. It was about 2:30 in the morning and nobody was around. It had been rather uneventful up to now, and Mark and I were loafing around looking at several old articles. It was an uncommon calm moment in Shropshire. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that the moment the phone finally rang it made me jump! The motorist said: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in the new Hyundai Genesis". I got him to inform us where he was located and we headed out, reaching him in Hifnal no more than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor and he thanked us for getting there so rapidly. As we were coming back home we found two women on the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
