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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may well lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL12 Postcode - Lower Kilcott Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a warm Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel mom's Peugeot 2008 in Lower Kilcott. I had been advised she had driven away from the filling station and was stranded on a backwater lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched the location in the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she said, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel as I'd just purchased it a few days ago right after my other car, which I'd used for about 30 years, eventually died". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Gloucestershire woman!

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.
