The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can certainly bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

A driver from Shipley with her kids in her diesel mint condition Volkswagen Touareg 2 had put £42 of petrol at the station. She called us weeping and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that the car should be fine and that she would be in action very quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the little ones in the back."

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.
