The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel will trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations quite expediently.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in LU7 Postcode - Hollingdon Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Tuesday and we were on my way to assist an elder lovely lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel khaki green Seat Mii in Hollingdon. I had been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a country road on the way to see her godchildren. I punched the location in the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I'd only just purchased it a week back because my old one, which I'd used for over twenty five years, eventually died". I finished the job and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Buckinghamshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Hollingdon - Wrong Fuel in Car Hollingdon

I had a fantastic afternoon fishing during the weekend and was feeling pleased the following morning as I set out to help a young couple who were away in Hollingdon. They had broken down after inserting diesel in their modern Ford Escort, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady chastising her spouse for being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place constantly in Buckinghamshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he still got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor lad. Anyhow, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the same error... I would never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hollingdon

I'm not necessarily that interested in working Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just left home following a wonderful Sunday roast cooked by the better half, and I was on the way to help a guy after he put the wrong petrol in his mom's Kia Optima. He was situated in Hollingdon so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I arrived behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank God! I had my attention on other stuff and did not perceive I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any kind of problems by starting it?" I revealed that generally there probably should not be any kind of problems and also that I would personally get the fuel drained at once for him. Needless to say I removed the fuel from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and yet another happy motorist was able to continue on their trip without any bother. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Buckinghamshire that tiny bit better for me!

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.
