The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases quite swiftly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Just had a quality night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to assist an old lady who had put petrol in her diesel cobalt blue BMW 8 Series in High Ellington. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was broken down along a country road on route to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel since I had only just purchased it a few days back when my previous car, which I had used for about 30 years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. What a delightful North Yorkshire lady!

It truly was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 2 in the morning and noone was about. It had been quite dead thus far, and John and I were relaxing reading a couple of old papers. It was an uncommon restful moment in North Yorkshire. It was indeed so peaceful that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The customer on the opposite end explained: "I concluded my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in the clean white Fiat Uno in error". We instructed him to inform us where the car was located and we hit the road, reaching him in High Ellington less than half an hour later. The fuel was removed from the motor. He thanked us profusely for showing up so quickly. As we were coming back home we spotted two ladies on the side of the road who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we got out to change it, to their delight.

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.
