The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sherwood - Wrong Fuel in Car Sherwood

I'd had a fantastic afternoon golfing on my off day and felt contented with myself the following day as I set off to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Sherwood. They had stopped after inserting diesel into their rust red Toyota Highlander, and were around half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife berating her hubby for actually being so silly. "How could you possibly manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass on daily basis in Nottinghamshire and that it's actually nothing at all to get worried about, but he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I waved bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would tell me in the event that I made the exact same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

This was certainly an unsociable time to be up. It was around sunrise and noone was about. It had been fairly uneventful thus far, and Ray and I were sitting about looking at a few old newspapers. That was a rare restful hour in Nottinghamshire. It was that relaxing that the moment the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The customer on the phone told me: "I just ended my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in my diesel navy blue Toyota FJ Cruiser by mistake". We instructed him to tell us where exactly he was and we set off, getting to him in Sherwood under half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the motor. He said thank you for coming so promptly. As we were heading back home we spotted two girls at the side of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out to change it, much 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 VAT 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.
