The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel may lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations fairly quickly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist How Caple - Wrong Fuel in Car How Caple

I had a wonderful day fishing on my off day and felt delighted the next working day as I headed out to assist a young couple away in How Caple. They stopped after putting petrol in their Ferarri red BMW 3 Series, and were about an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this situation goes on on daily basis in Herefordshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, but he all the same had an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I drained out all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good-bye and wondered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car How Caple

I am not ever so keen on doing the job Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd just come away from home filled with a tasty Sunday roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman because he put the incorrect fuel in his racing green Hyundai Genesis Coupe. He was situated in How Caple hence it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. As I drove up at the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Praise God! I foolishly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any harm simply by running it?" I said that there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I'd get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible. Needless to say I drained the fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and then yet another satisfied motorist could continue on their journey without hassle. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what tends to make operating on weekends in Herefordshire a tiny bit better in my opinion!

A driver from How Caple with a full car of little ones in her diesel dirty red Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Texaco service station. She called us crying and very worried as she had never wrong fueled previously and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We assured her that everything should be fine and that she would be on the road quickly. When we got there she was still upset but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the kids on board."

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.
