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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across 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.
