The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations very swiftly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

    • 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.
