The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases rather easily.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

I completed the drain and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Buckinghamshire woman!

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.
