The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

I had a wonderful evening fishing on my off day and felt cheerful the next day as I headed out to aid a new family holidaying in Knightsbridge. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their cyan Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her spouse off for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this problem occurs quite frequently in Kensington and Chelsea and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing. Poor lad. Anyhow, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

This really was the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had been fairly uneventful up to now, and me and John were sitting reading a few old newspapers. It was a rare tranquil time in Kensington and Chelsea. It was in fact that tranquil that the instant the phone eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist on the other end explained: "I just completed my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in my metallic red Saab". I instructed him to tell us where exactly the car was and we left, ending up in Knightsbridge an hour later. The fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he said many thanks for coming so rapidly. While we were coming back home we noticed two women at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. As a result we pulled up to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
