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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases pretty expediently.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Woodcote Green

Now I'm not necessarily that inclined to doing the job on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd just departed the wife and kids after having a fantastic Sunday roast prepared by the wife, and I was off to deal with a gentleman because he put the wrong fuel in his expensive Cadillac DeVille. He was located in Woodcote Green hence it wouldn't be long before I reached him. As I pulled up at the rear of the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any kind of harm by starting it?" I said that there probably should not be problems and that also I would drain the fuel quickly. Needless to say I drained the fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and then yet another delighted motorist was able to continue their traveling without any fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and this makes working on Sundays in Sutton a little bit easier in my opinion!

A man who had sadly put the wrong fuel in his diesel khaki green Mercedes CL-Class phoned us for help at the Shell petrol station in Woodcote Green.

"I put unleaded instead of diesel and it wasn't a great way to begin to our vacation." It was definitely no challenge in the least for our technician to go along and carry out the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good getaway.

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.
