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 or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases very quickly.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was close to 2:30 in the morning and nobody was about. It had become quite uneventful so far, and Paul and I were relaxing looking through a few old articles. It was an unusual calm hour in Lancashire. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that when the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice on the opposite end told me: "I have ended my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in a diesel well worn Honda Civic". I got him to inform us where exactly he was located and we left, reaching him in Preesall 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming so rapidly.

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.
