The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases pretty expediently.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Kingswood (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the typical issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TA4 Postcode - Kingswood Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Sunday and we were on my way to assist an old sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel customised Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG in Kingswood. I had been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down on a country lane on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour. I got to the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was working she told me, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had only just bought it several days ago after my previous car, which I had had for about 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Somerset woman!

A woman from Kingswood with a full car of kids in her diesel silver Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the petrol station. She called us weeping and very distraught as she had never wrong fueled and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that all would be fine and that she would be back on the road very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the children in the back."

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.
