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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

What a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and I was en route to help an elder sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel light green Land Rover Range Rover in Stanford Rivers. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a rural lane en route to visit her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel as I had only acquired it a short while ago when my old car, which I owned for more than 25 years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Essex lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Stanford Rivers

A young person who had only got his licence had misfueled his daughter's Mazda323 by putting petrol in the diesel at the filling station close to Stanford Rivers. He said, "This is the third time I have filled up my vehicle since I paid for it and I have no idea of how to proceed." He was anxious because his father had only just purchased him the car.

This was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was around dawn and almost noone was stirring. It was pretty uneventful thus far, and Paul and I were sitting about browsing a number of old newspapers. This was a rare peaceful moment in Essex. Actually it was indeed that quiet that the moment the telephone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The person explained: "I have just finished my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in my husband's BMW M6 in error". I instructed him to inform us just where the car was located and we headed out, ending up in Stanford Rivers no more than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He thanked us for getting there so promptly. While we were heading back to the depot we noticed two ladies on the side of the road who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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.
