The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and we were en route to help an older woman who put petrol in her diesel pristine Land Rover Freelander in Thorncombe Street. I'd been advised she drove away from the petrol station and was broken down on a backwater lane along the way to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was working she said, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I had only just purchased it a short while back right after my previous car, which I'd owned for about 25 years, finally died on me". I finished the drain and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. What a lovely Surrey woman!

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly 3am and almost noone was around. It had become rather dead up to now, and John and I were relaxing looking through a couple of old magazines. It was an uncommon calm hour in Surrey. Actually it was that relaxing that the instant the telephone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist on the other end said: "I completed my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in a diesel green Chevrolet Malibu in error". I told him to let us know just where he was and we hit the road, arriving in Thorncombe Street not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car. He said thanks a lot for getting there so quickly. As we were going back home we spotted two ladies on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat. Obviously we stopped to change it, to their delight.

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.
