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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations fairly easily.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Roundthorn - Wrong Fuel in Car Roundthorn

I had a great afternoon cycling on my off day and felt satisfied the next working day as I set out to help a new family on holiday in Roundthorn. They had broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their precious Volvo V50, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smiled while I listened to the girl telling off her man for being so silly. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass on a regular basis in Greater Manchester and that it's actually absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyway, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed goodbye and thought about what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never 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.
