The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in DE4 Postcode - Rowsley Misfueling

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and I was en route to assist an older lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel expensive Cadillac STS in Rowsley. I'd been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a backwater lane along the way to see her godchildren. I punched her location into the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had only acquired it a short while ago because my previous car, which I had used for over thirty years, eventually died on me". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. What a delightful Derbyshire woman!

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.
