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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in HR9 Postcode - Llangrove Misfueling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Tuesday and I was on the way to help an old lady after she put petrol in her diesel gorgeous Volvo C70 in Llangrove. I had been advised she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up in a rural road en route to see her grandchildren. I popped the location in the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I had only acquired it a few days ago when my previous one, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she offered me a toffee and said thanks. Such a pleasant Herefordshire lady!

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.
