The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

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

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.
