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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can certainly lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations very quickly.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Hillingdon to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

I had been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a rural road on route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was doing it she told me, "I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel as I'd only just bought it a few days ago right after my other car, which I owned for about 25 years, inevitably broke down". I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. Such a pleasant Hillingdon woman!

Now I am certainly not too interested in doing the job weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd just departed the wife and kids after a superb Sunday roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a guy after he had put the incorrect fuel in his metallic grey Mercedes Sprinter. He was situated in Eastcote Village therefore it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I drove up at the rear of the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't perceive I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought on some harm as a result of starting it?" I explained truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and also I would drain the wrong fuel quickly.

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.
