The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel can result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases very easily.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Somerton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home.

They will take care of the normal troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Somerton

Now I am not necessarily very hot for doing work Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just come away from the family filled with a fantastic dinner cooked by the better half, and I was en route to deal with a guy who filled the wrong petrol in his creamy white BMW M. He was only in Somerton so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I drove up at the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank God! I stupidly had my concentration on other stuff and didn't realise I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused any harm by starting it?" I explained that truth be told there probably should not be harm and that also I would personally drain the contaminated fuel at once for him. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and then one more pleased customer had the ability to continue his ride without difficulty. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what helps make carrying out work on weekends in Suffolk just that little bit less painful to me!

A customer who had sadly put unleaded in his diesel racing green Volvo960 contacted us for assistance at the Shell petrol filling station in Somerton. He thought it would be good to fill up before continuing on to the local recreation park . "I put unleaded as opposed to diesel and it wasn't a good way to begin to our getaway." It was definitely no problem by any means for our technical engineer to go and carry out the fuel drain. We hope everyone had a good vacation.

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.
