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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases very simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SN3 Postcode - Stratton St Margaret Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Sunday and I was on my way to assist an older lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel maroon Peugeot 307 in Stratton St Margaret. I had been told she had left the filling station and stranded along a backwater road on route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was working she told me, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I had only got it a short while back when my previous car, which I had for over 30 years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain completed and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant Wiltshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Stratton St Margaret

Now I am certainly not too hot for carrying out work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had only just departed the wife and kids filled with a lovely Sunday roast made by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman who had put the incorrect petrol in his sky blue VW GTI. He was stationed in Stratton St Margaret so I was there soon. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and stepped out he told me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused some damage by running it?" I said generally there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained at once. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and one more satisfied client was able to continue his traveling with no difficulty. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what can make carrying out work on weekends in Wiltshire that little less painful in my opinion!

This was certainly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about dawn and noone was about. It had been pretty dead so far, and Mark and I were loafing reading through some old newspapers. That was a rare peaceful time in Wiltshire. Actually it was so relaxing that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me start! The person said: "I ended my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in a new Mazda MX-6". We asked him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was and we headed out, ending up in Stratton St Margaret no more than 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned from the car. He said thanks a lot for getting there so fast. As we were coming back home we saw two women at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. So we pulled over to 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.
