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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases pretty easily.

Take note that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RH20 Postcode - Ashington Misfueling

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Sunday and we were on my way to assist an elder woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel boss' Ford in Ashington. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a backwater road on route to visit her family. I got her location punched in the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I arrived at the car and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was working she said, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only purchased it a few days ago because my old one, which I'd had for over 25 years, inevitably died on me". I got the job completed and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant West Sussex lady!

We did a wrong fuel removal exercise outside a spectacular residential home in Ashington a few weeks ago. "I had put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and was able to more or less arrive at home when my car quit." Our technician went out, even though it was quite late at night, and performed a fuel drain and purge on the bright white Jeep Commander to everyone's satisfaction.

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly sunrise and noone was stirring. It was fairly uneventful up to now, and John and I were loafing browsing a couple of old articles. This was an uncommon peaceful moment in West Sussex. It was indeed so peaceful that when the telephone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist on the phone told me: "I've only just completed my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my buff Peugeot 3008 in error". I asked him to let us know where the vehicle was and we left, reaching him in Ashington only an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine. He said thank you for showing up so fast. While we were coming back to base we found two girls at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
