The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.
