The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CR5 Postcode - Old Coulsdon Misfueling

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and we were on my way to assist an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel metallic blue Kia Rio in Old Coulsdon. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was pulled up along a country lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location into the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I got to the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd only just purchased it a short while back because my old car, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, finally broke down". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Bexley 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 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.
