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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CR44 Postcode - Beddington Misfueling

A woman had stopped on a road, Beddington having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was weeping and really agitated as she had put £60 petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we attempted to sooth her as best we could, encouraging her that all would be no problem. When we got to her she was not upset any more and was intrigued in observing our technician carry out the fuel drain on her metallic grey Fiat Nuova 500. Afterwards she said: "My car is akin to my child, I recently paid for it and it especially horrified me that I had put such a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm so glad that it was very easily fixable."

A motorist had broken down just near a road in Beddington. His metallic green BMW X6 car had ceased functioning and he had no clue what was the problem until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten zero sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.

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.
