The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations quite swiftly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car New Brancepeth

I'm not actually overly hot for doing the job on weekends, and a while back was the same. I had only just departed home filled with a fantastic lunch cooked for me by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow who filled the incorrect fuel in his metallic yellow Mitsubishi Montero. He was situated in New Brancepeth therefore it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up at the car and got out he said to me "Thank God! I had my attention on other stuff and did not ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted problems by simply running it?" I revealed that generally there should not be any problems and that also I would get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and then yet another content client could continue on their journey without the need for bother. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and this makes working on Sundays in County Durham 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.

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.
