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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite simply.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Priddy

I am certainly not very keen on doing work on weekends, and last week was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids following a lovely lunch prepared by the better half, and I was on the way to help a gentleman after he filled the incorrect petrol in his dirty red Mercedes Sprinter 2500. He was stationed in Priddy hence I was there very quickly. As I drove up behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my attention on stuff and failed to perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I caused some damage through driving it?" I determined that truth be told there probably should not be damage and also that I'd personally remove the fuel as quickly as possible. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and so another content motorist had the ability to continue on their trip without the need for hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and this is actually what can make earning a living on weekends in Somerset just that small bit better for me!

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 VA 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.
