The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and I was off to assist an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel beautiful Kia Rio5 in Forest-in-Teesdale. I'd been informed she drove away from the filling station and broken down in a rural road on the way to visit her godchildren. I punched her location in the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I had just got it a couple of days back after my other car, which I used for over 25 years, eventually broke down". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious County Durham lady!

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 VA 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.
