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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel is likely to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Last week a man called us soon after his dad's Vauxhall Meriva stopped working in the middle of a road in Lodsworth. He had mistakenly put the wrong fuel in the diesel car and drove so far as the road before needing to pull over. It was in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who resides not far away, arrived with him in approximately 10 minutes. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your prompt response, especially at 3 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lodsworth

Imagine grinding to a halt in a vehicle with the wrong fuel on the road. One of our most recent customers who filled her diesel car with petrol (white Cadillac DeVille) in Lodsworth endured literally that nightmare: "As you know I erroneously filled my petrol car with diesel last week. I was so troubled about my mistake that I was actually in tears. Nevertheless I shouldn't have concerned myself since you were brilliant in sorting it out."

This really was what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had been quite uneventful so far, and Paul and I were sitting about looking through a number of old papers. That was a rare peaceful time in West Sussex. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that when the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The motorist on the opposite end said: "I've concluded my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the mustard yellow Suzuki Sidekick in error". We got him to inform us where exactly the car was situated and we left, ending up in Lodsworth not as much as half an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the motor. He said thank you for getting there so rapidly. While we were going back home we noticed two young women on the side of the road who looked like they had a flat tyre. So we stopped and helped them change it, 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.
