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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel.

She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and was broken down along a rural lane on route to see her family. I punched her location in the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd only got it a couple of days back when my other car, which I'd used for more than 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Hampshire lady!

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.
