The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations fairly simply.

Take note though that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

I got the location plugged in the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I arrived at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing it she said, "Now I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel as I had only purchased it several days back when my old one, which I used for about 30 years, finally died on me".

It truly was what is called the graveyard shift. It was around 2 in the morning and nobody was around. It had become quite dead so far, and Paul and I were relaxing looking at several old papers. That was an unusual quiet hour in Somerset. It was in fact so peaceful that the instant the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The person explained: "I have only just finished my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel rugged Fiat Ulysse by mistake". We got him to inform us just where the vehicle was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Publow no more than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the motor. He thanked us for coming out so promptly. While we were heading back to the office we saw two girls on the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we stopped to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
