The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations rather simply.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas 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 VA 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.
