A person rang us from his residence on a road. He exclaimed, "My car (a Hunsworth) is not starting and is generating very bad sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said that he would be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!



Now that you know the indicators of wrong fuel in a vehicle, or have experienced it, then you will try to be more careful in future and be certain of not making the mistake.

Other Fuel Issues in Hunsworth

Problems in the fuel system may not just due to incorrect fuel in the car. Water can contaminate your fuel system too, causing the engine to stop or run abnormally. The symptoms stipulated above will also be seen in your engine even if it is just water contamination to either petrol or diesel run engine.

Diesel engines (modern ones) today make use of AdBlue to reduce nitrous toxins in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of correct ratio in order to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank installed somewhere. If someone isn't mindful of this and tries to add it straight into the tank, it will cause problems. Again, the symptoms are very like those stated above, and we can put things right for you. Here's our personal message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll be your helping hand at any time of the day, anywhere you are".

There's also a chance, though it's a rare case, that the problem is actually not wrong or contaminated fuel, don't worry, you can still go back to your trip.

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:

    • 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.
