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


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very expediently.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

I'd had a wonderful afternoon hiking during my day off and was feeling pleased the following working day as I was on the way to aid a new couple vacationing in Shrivenham. They had conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their well worn Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, and the car was about half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked as I listened to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this problem happens on a regular basis in Oxfordshire and that it's truly nothing to stress about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted good-bye and considered what her indoors would ask me if I made the same mistake... I would never live it down!

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.
