The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases rather quickly.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Kirdford - Wrong Fuel in Car Kirdford

I'd had a wonderful day fishing during the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a young family holidaying in Kirdford. They stopped after adding diesel into their precious Subaru Outback, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and laughed as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this happens on daily basis in West Sussex and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove away I mouthed so long and considered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd 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 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.
