The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can certainly lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite quickly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in WV6 Postcode - Ackleton Misfueling

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and I was on the way to help an older woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel modified Cadillac Sixty Special in Ackleton. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down in a rural road en route to visit her family. I plugged her location into the TomTom and got there within an hour. I arrived at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she said, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel since I had only just purchased it a week back right after my other car, which I'd owned for over twenty years, finally stopped working". I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Shropshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Ackleton - Wrong Fuel in Car Ackleton

I had appreciated a fantastic day hiking on the weekend and felt contented with myself the following morning as I set off to assist a new couple who were away in Ackleton. They'd conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their son's Toyota, and were about half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled as I heard to the girl chastising her hubby for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this situation happens on a regular basis in Shropshire and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, even so he still had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyways, I removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ackleton

Now I'm not actually that hot for working on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids filled with a superb dinner prepared for me by the better half, and I was off to deal with a gentleman who filled the incorrect fuel in his metallic grey Dodge Charger. He was only in Ackleton and so I was there before long. As I drove up at the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank God! I stupidly had my thoughts on other stuff and didn't perceive I had put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of problems as a result of starting it?" I explained that there should not be damage and also that I'd get the fuel drained immediately. As expected I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and yet another satisfied customer was able to carry on with their traveling without bother. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what can make earning a living on weekends in Shropshire a little bit less painful in my opinion!

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.
