The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will often cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

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.
