The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will often result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

The driver of a khaki green Seat Arosa was sorry that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel automobile when he got as far as the road and it coughed and ground to a halt. "I've gone and put unleaded in my diesel car," is what he shared with us the first time he called.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bayton - Wrong Fuel in Car Bayton

I appreciated a perfect day hiking during my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I set out to assist a young family vacationing in Bayton. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol into their deep grey Chevrolet Malibu, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I heard to the wife berating her husband for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this situation takes place all the time in Worcestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would ask me if I did the same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Bayton

We recently had a call from a guy who had put the incorrect fuel in his stylish Cadillac CTS-V in Bayton. He had ground to a halt on the road. "After adding petrol in my diesel car I didn't discover the quandary till the time it conked out. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning again. I was amazed as a result of both how quick you were and your pricing". It goes without saying that we showed up punctually and purged the engine after draining all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived our technician said the client was scowling, but was happy after the fuel drain.

A customer from Bayton with a full car of children in her diesel buff Renault Laguna had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She called us sobbing and really upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that all should be fine and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the little ones 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 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.
