The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations very expediently.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had just bought it a week back because my old one, which I owned for over 25 years, finally stopped working". I completed the drain and she offered me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Gloucestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Bowbridge

I am not actually so hot for working on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had just come away from home filled with a tasty roast made by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a man after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his sunflower yellow BMW 600. He was located in Bowbridge and so I arrived on scene almost immediately. As I pulled up at the car and started work he said to me "Praise God! I had my thoughts on other things and didn't perceive I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought on any harm as a result of running it?" I said generally there probably should not be any kind of harm and that I would get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the correct fuel, and one more happy motorist had the ability to continue on his journey without any subsequent fuss. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and that is actually what helps make operating on weekends in Gloucestershire a little bit less painful to me!

A motorist employed in Bowbridge phoned us after she had managed to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel blue Volkswagen Eurovan and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she could basically fill up her tank with diesel and it'd be alright. The engine was spluttering and then it stopped when she came to the the front of her work. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted within an hour whilst she was at work. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm very delighted you fixed my car."

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.
