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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is likely to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases rather quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DN37 Postcode - Riby Misfueling

Just had a great night's sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Saturday and I was on my way to help an older lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel mate's Jeep Grand Cherokee in Riby. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and was broken down in a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she said to me, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel seeing that I had only bought it a short while ago when my other one, which I'd had for more than 30 years, eventually stopped working". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Lincolnshire lady!

Therefore, in case you've topped up your petrol automobile with diesel, or put the wrong fuel in your diesel motor vehicle wherever in Lincolnshire, speak to us now. Our skilled technicians are all set for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Riby

I'm not actually overly enthusiastic about running weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just departed home after a tasty lunch cooked by the missus, and I was on my way to help a guy who had put the incorrect fuel in his dad's MINI Cooper Clubman. He was somewhere in Riby therefore I was with him soon. As I drove up behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my thoughts on other things and didn't realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any harm by starting it?" I stated generally there should not be any harm and that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus another contented customer could carry on with their trip without hassle. The guy did not stop thanking me, and this is actually what helps make carrying out work on weekends in Lincolnshire just that small bit better in my opinion!

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.
