The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances very swiftly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SR4 Postcode - Humbledon Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and I was en route to assist an old lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel elegant Isuzu i-350 in Humbledon. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a country lane on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I reached the car and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was working she explained, "I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had only just purchased it several days ago right after my former one, which I had for about twenty years, finally stopped working". I completed the job and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Tyne and Wear lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Humbledon - Wrong Fuel in Car Humbledon

I had appreciated a great afternoon golfing on my day off and was feeling satisfied the next day as I set out to assist a young couple who were on vacation in Humbledon. They stopped after filling diesel in their wife's Volvo850, and they were approximately an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl telling her man off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this situation comes to pass everyday in Tyne and Wear and that it's in reality nothing to stress about, but he still had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor boy. Anyhow, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed so long and wondered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
