The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

We got a phone call from a individual whose rugged Vauxhall Bedford had ground to a halt on a road after a misfuel. "I confused the pumps and put petrol instead of diesel in my vehicle by mistake. These guys arrived and sorted out the situation after my car stopped." We purged the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the system thoroughly and the motorist could continue on with his scheduled delivery.

This was most definitely what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3am and hardly anyone was around. It had been pretty dead until now, and Mark and I were loafing around looking through a number of old papers. That was a rare restful hour in Bromley. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that when my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The person on the opposite end said: "I have ended my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in a diesel matte black Volkswagen Jetta by mistake". I asked him to inform us where exactly he was and we set off, ending up in Derry Downs only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he said many thanks for coming out so rapidly. While we were returning home we noticed two ladies at the edge of the highway who looked like they had a puncture. Accordingly we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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.
