The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases rather easily.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

A motorist had broken down on a street, Whitecross just after having put the wrong fuel in her car. She was weeping and really troubled as she had put £42 of petrol in her diesel car.

By the time we arrived with her she was not distressed any more and was very curious in watching our fuel drainer perform the fuel drain on her metallic green Mercedes S-Class.

I'm so gratified that it was so very easily fixable."

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.
