The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is going to cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Occold - Wrong Fuel in Car Occold

I had a terrific afternoon fishing during my afternoon off and felt contented with myself the following working day as I set off to help a young couple who were away in Occold. They conked out after adding diesel in their matte black BMW 7 Series, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smiled as I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for actually being so confused. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs on daily basis in Suffolk and that it's nothing at all to fret about, and yet he still got his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed goodbye and wondered what my missus would ask me if I made the exact same blunder... I would personally never live it down!

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.
