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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RG26 Postcode - Charter Alley Misfueling

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Wednesday and I was on my way to help an old lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel metallic green Skoda Superb in Charter Alley. She told us that she had left the filling station and pulled up along a rural road en route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she said to me, "I am getting rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I'd only bought it several days back because my other one, which I'd had for more than 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Hampshire woman!

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.
