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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel may well result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases very easily.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel Assist Northfield - Wrong Fuel in Car Northfield

I had a wonderful evening hiking during my day off and felt contented with myself the following morning as I was on the way to assist a new couple holidaying in Northfield. They had pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their white VW Jetta III, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I listened to the woman berating her spouse for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this occurs all the time in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to worry about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed good-bye and wondered what my missus would do to me if I made the same error... I would personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Northfield

Now I am certainly not so hot for doing the job on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just departed the wife and kids filled with a tasty dinner cooked for me by the wife, and I was on my way to help a man after he put the wrong fuel in his maroon Mercedes S-Class. He was stationed in Northfield hence I arrived there very quickly. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my attention on other stuff and failed to ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted problems by driving it?" I explained there shouldn't be any harm and also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained right away for him. It goes without saying that I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and yet another pleased customer could continue on their traveling without any subsequent bother. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this is what can make operating on Sundays in Somerset just that small bit easier 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.
