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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can easily result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases quite easily.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

    • 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 VAT 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.
