The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel will likely cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases rather quickly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

A rather concerned driver phoned us from the BP petrol station at Buckinghamshire to advise us that he put unleaded in to his diesel metallic silver VW Jetta; he wasn't quite certain how he'd managed to do it.

He told us; "I am really flabbergasted I put petrol in my diesel car. And the technician who arrived to do the fuel drain was extremely fantastic - he didn't make me appear silly."

Wrong Fuel Doctor North Crawley - Fuel Rescue North Crawley

A motorist working in North Crawley called us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel mum's Chevrolet Cavalier and, like many prior to her, imagined that she could simply fill up her car with diesel and it'd be no problem. The car was coughing and then it died when she arrived at the the front of her work. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and got it repaired within an hour or so while she was at the office. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really relieved you repaired my vehicle."

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.
