The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations quite easily.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Yeovil

Now I am not ever overly enthusiastic about doing work weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd only just come away from home filled with a magnificent Sunday roast made for us by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a gentleman because he put the wrong fuel in his light green Volvo240. He was stationed in Yeovil hence I arrived on scene before long. As I pulled up at the rear of the car and started work he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my concentration on other things and failed to grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I created problems simply by running it?" I stated that there should not be problems and also I would personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and so one more content customer could continue on their journey without the need for bother. He could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what tends to make earning a living on weekends in Somerset just a small bit less painful for me personally!

It was really no hassle whatsoever for our technical engineer to go and do the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their getaway.

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.
