The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Edge Fold

Now I am not necessarily overly excited about doing the job on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just come away from the family following a wonderful Sunday roast made for me by the better half, and I was on the way to help a man after he filled the wrong fuel in his new Subaru Impreza WRX. He was somewhere in Edge Fold thus it wasn't long before I got to him. As I arrived at the car and stepped out he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and didn't realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about damage simply by running it?" I determined there should not be damage and that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained quickly. As expected I drained the fuel from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and one more content client was able to continue on their journey without the bother. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Lancashire just that tiny bit better for me personally!

A motorist working in Edge Fold phoned us shortly after she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to work. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel classic Vauxhall Corsa and, like many people before her, thought that she could basically fill up the car with diesel and it'd be okay. The car was coughing and then it died when she got to the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed within an hour or so while she was at work. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely delighted you sorted my vehicle."

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.
