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


Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Chedglow (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill the car. They are also able to take care of the most common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations quite swiftly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

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.
