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




On arrival of the mechanic at your car

Once the mechanic is at your location and has access to your vehicle, his first task is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is due to wrong fuel or not. If the finding is negative, no services will be done on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in a vehicle. You won't be charged for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

If, as it is in most cases, it is an issue of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is completely equipped and experienced to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the vehicle with the correct kind of fuel. We don’t demand crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we simply ask for the current pump prices. We are very considerate when it’s time for you to make the payment, we know this is an urgent situation for you so we don't insist on cash but allow all the major debit and credit cards.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will quickly be shown by your engine. It will make it exhibit similar signs as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. This situation of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

One more thing which can cause similar symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also occur if it is used by someone who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. Therefore, it should only be used by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank instead of being added directly to the fuel.

Still, there's no need to fret. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can surely help you. We can get you back to your journey after we carry out the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel. Additionally, we can assist you replace the fuel filters broken by water contamination so you don’t have to worry about them.

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.
