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


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Apeton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will be able to fix any of the common problems which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

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.
