The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

I had been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a country road on the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I arrived at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "Now I'm becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd only purchased it a short while back after my old car, which I'd used for in excess of twenty years, eventually died on me". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Northumberland woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Hepburn - Wrong Fuel in Car Hepburn

I had a perfect evening fishing on my off day and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I was en route to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Hepburn. They had conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their cyan VW Beetle, and they were about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place quite frequently in Northumberland and that it's truly nothing at all to worry about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent by his missus. Poor chap. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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.
