The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas 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.

Commonplace Misfueling Symptoms:
