The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will likely bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

A relatively alarmed motorist phoned us from the Esso filling station at Staffordshire to inform us that he had put unleaded in his diesel baby blue BMW Z4; he wasn't entirely sure how he'd done it.

He told us; "I am genuinely flabbergasted I put petrol in my diesel car. And the technician who appeared to take care of the fuel drain was genuinely very good - he did not make me look and feel stupid."

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Smallthorne

Now I'm not actually very inclined to working on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from home following a tasty lunch prepared for us by the missus, and I was off to deal with a fellow because he filled the wrong petrol in his faithful Mitsubishi Lancer. He was situated in Smallthorne hence it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up at the car and got out he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on other things and failed to perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about some problems by simply running it?" I revealed that truth be told there should not be any damage and also I would personally remove the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and so another pleased motorist had the ability to continue their ride with no hassle. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what helps make carrying out work on weekends in Staffordshire just a small bit less painful for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Smallthorne - Fuel Rescue Smallthorne

A young lady driving in Smallthorne phoned us shortly after she had tried to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had put petrol in her diesel blue Mitsubishi Expo and, like plenty prior to her, imagined that she would be able to basically fill up the tank with diesel and it would run okay. The car was coughing and then it cut out when she reached the the front of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed in an hour or so whilst she was at the office. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely pleased you fixed my car."

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.
