The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations very easily.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout 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.
