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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Out of Fuel Service

We can easily come to re-fill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the standard troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt delighted the next day as I set out to aid a new family vacationing in Northam. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their yellow Hyundai Genesis Coupe, and the car was close to an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I listened to the lady berating her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs all the time in Hampshire and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he yet still got an earful. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted good bye and considered what my wife would do to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

We not too long ago had a call from a man who had put the wrong fuel in his trusty BMW 745 in Northam. He had come to a stand-still on the road. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the quandary up until the time I stopped working. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and had it running again. I was impressed with both how swift you were and your pricing". Obviously we showed up promptly and purged the engine after draining all the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. The motorist was smiling again by the time we were done and he was able to drive away completely satisfied.

This was most definitely the night shift. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was around. It was fairly quiet thus far, and me and Paul were relaxing reading a couple of old papers. This was a rare peaceful time in Hampshire. Actually it was in fact that peaceful that the instant my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The voice on the opposite end told me: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in the diesel cobalt blue Dodge Ram". We told him to inform us where the car was located and we set off, reaching him in Northam less than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the engine. He thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. While we were heading back home we spotted two ladies at the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up to help them change it, 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:

    • 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.
