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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations pretty easily.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

I'm certainly not too interested in carrying out work on weekends, and the other day was the same. I had just left the wife and kids filled with a lovely dinner cooked by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a man because he filled the wrong fuel in his spotless Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. He was somewhere in Impington thus it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I drove up behind the vehicle and got out he said to me "Praise God! I had my attention on other considerations and failed to ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created some damage by simply driving it?" I said that truth be told there should not be any kind of damage and also I would get the fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then yet another delighted motorist could continue on his traveling with no fuss. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Cambridgeshire that tiny bit better in my opinion!

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.

    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
