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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

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.
