The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases very quickly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bowes - Wrong Fuel in Car Bowes

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening hiking during my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I set off to help a young family who were away in Bowes. They had pulled over after adding diesel into their spotless Vauxhall Zafira, and were around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smiled as I listened to the girl telling off her husband for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this happens quite frequently in County Durham and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing. Poor chap. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I mouthed farewell and thought about what her indoors would do to me if I made the exact same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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 VA 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.
