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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel is going to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations quite quickly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout 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.
