The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases quite simply.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Ballam

Now I am not actually overly hot for doing work Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had only just come away from home filled with a lovely roast made by the better half, and I was on my way to deal with a gentleman who filled the wrong petrol in his khaki green Volkswagen Eurovan. He was somewhere in Lower Ballam therefore I arrived on scene soon. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and started work he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on stuff and failed to realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created damage by simply starting it?" I explained there probably should not be any harm and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained immediately for him. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus yet another content customer had the ability to continue their trip without any subsequent difficulty. He could not stop thanking me, and that makes earning a living on Sundays in Lancashire that little less painful for me personally!

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 VA 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.
