The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations rather expediently.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Sea Palling

It's no fun breaking down in a car with the incorrect fuel in the middle of the road. We had a customer who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (mate's VW Eos) in Sea Palling encountered precisely this kind of issue: "WrongFuelSOS.com's technician removed my motor from the live lane. He had it drained and had it working once more in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommended."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Sea Palling - Fuel Rescue Sea Palling

A lady from Sea Palling with her youngsters in her diesel teal Mitsubishi Expo had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She called us crying and extremely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that all should be fine and that she would be in action in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the kids in the back."

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.
