The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will often contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather quickly.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Lightwood (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the normal issues that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lightwood - Wrong Fuel in Car Lightwood

Yesterday a young man called us just after his rugged Toyota Cressida stopped along a street in Lightwood. He had mistakenly put petrol in the diesel motor and managed to drive as far as the street before being forced to stop. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who stays close by, reached him in less than a quarter hour.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lightwood

Now I'm not ever very keen on carrying out work on weekends, and the other day was the same. I had only just departed home filled with a superb roast prepared by the better half, and I was on my way to deal with a fellow because he put the incorrect fuel in his baby blue Hyundai Genesis Coupe. He was stationed in Lightwood so it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I arrived at the car and got out he told me "Thank God! I had my mind on something else and failed to grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any damage by starting it?" I said that there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also that I'd get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible. Needless to say I drained the fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and yet another pleased customer was able to continue their ride without the need for fuss. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this tends to make earning a living on weekends in Staffordshire just a tiny bit less painful for me!

A customer who had put the wrong fuel in his diesel shiny Mercedes-Benz CL-Class called us for assistance at the Shell petrol station in Lightwood. He thought it would be good to fill up before continuing on to the local caravan park . "I put petrol instead of diesel and it wasn't a wonderful way to start to our holiday." It was really no challenge whatsoever for our engineer to go out and carry out the fuel drain. We hope the family enjoyed their holiday.

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.
