The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

It truly was what is called the graveyard shift. It was about sunrise and noone was about. It had become pretty uneventful until now, and me and Ryan were loafing about looking at a few old newspapers. This was an unusual peaceful hour in Hampshire. It was in fact that relaxing that the instant the phone finally rang it made me start! The motorist explained: "I have completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my dark blue Mazda". We asked him to let us know just where the car was situated and we set off, getting to him in Eastrop 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the engine. He said thanks for coming out so fast.

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.
