The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Kenley - Fuel Rescue Kenley

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2am and nobody was stirring. It was pretty dead up to now, and me and John were sitting around browsing a few old articles. This was an uncommon peaceful moment in Shropshire. Actually it was in fact that tranquil that when my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The motorist stated: "I've just ended my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in a diesel racing green Hyundai Excel". I asked him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was and we hit the road, reaching him in Kenley half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor and he said thanks a lot for showing up so promptly. As we were going back home we found two young women at the side of the highway who seemed like they had a puncture. Obviously we pulled up to change it, much 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.
