The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may well result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous 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.
