The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances rather easily.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Synwell

I'm certainly not overly interested in carrying out work weekends, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just departed home filled with a wonderful lunch prepared for us by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his deep grey Saab 9-4X. He was somewhere in Synwell so I arrived on scene rapidly. Just as I arrived behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my concentration on something else and didn't realise I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created any harm as a result of starting it?" I determined that generally there should not be any kind of damage and also I would remove the contaminated fuel right away. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus one more contented client could continue his traveling with no hassle. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what helps make operating on weekends in Gloucestershire just a little bit better for me!

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.
