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


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Lew (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the normal problems that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations quite swiftly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lew

I'm not actually too enthusiastic about running on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids after eating a lovely Sunday roast cooked for me by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a fellow after he put the wrong fuel in his mom's BMW Z4. He was somewhere in Lew therefore I arrived on scene soon. Just as I drove up at the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my thoughts on stuff and did not grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused problems simply by starting it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be any damage and also I'd get the wrong fuel drained quickly. Needless to say I removed the fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then one more content client had the ability to continue on his trip without the need for hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and that makes carrying out work on Sundays in Oxfordshire a tiny 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 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.
