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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank is likely to produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases fairly easily.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car Akeld

Now I am not actually overly enthusiastic about working Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just come away from home following a fantastic lunch cooked for us by the wife, and I was en route to help a guy who had put the incorrect petrol in his silver Mazda B-Series Plus. He was stationed in Akeld and so I was on scene quickly. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my thoughts on other stuff and didn't realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted harm as a result of starting it?" I revealed generally there probably should not be any harm and also that I'd personally remove the fuel at once. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and then another satisfied motorist was able to continue on their journey without the need for bother. He did not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what helps make operating on Sundays in Northumberland just a little bit less painful to me!

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.
