The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations very expediently.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and I was en route to assist an old lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel mom's Volvo740 in Rothbury. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a backwater road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was working she said to me, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel as I'd only just acquired it a couple of days ago because my other one, which I had owned for over thirty years, eventually broke down". I got the drain done and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Northumberland woman!

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.
