The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases quite simply.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

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.
