The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel may result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations very expediently.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

I had a wonderful afternoon hiking on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I set out to help a new family away in Dersingham. They had broken down after adding diesel in their trusty Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, and were around half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "Just how could you even manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this happens all the time in Norfolk and that it's actually nothing to be anxious about, even so he yet still had his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd never live it down!

We a few weeks ago received a call from a man who had put the wrong fuel in his well worn Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class in Dersingham. He had broken down on the street. "I was pleased at how quick you guys were in having someone out to aid me after I stupidly unleaded in my diesel car. Thank you ever so much". Of course we were on-scene rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing all the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. The client was delighted by the time we were done and he was able to drive away satisfied.

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 3:30 in the morning and nobody was stirring. It had been quite uneventful thus far, and me and Brian were relaxing perusing a few old magazines. That was an uncommon peaceful time in Norfolk. Actually it was in fact that quiet that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The customer told me: "I have only just completed my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my bright white Saab 9-3 by mistake". I got him to let us know exactly where he was situated and we left, ending up in Dersingham only half an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he said many thanks for coming out so quickly. As we were heading back to base we saw two women at the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over and helped them change it, 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.
