The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel can produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Just had a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Monday and I was on my way to help an elder woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel rust red Toyota Highlander Hybrid in Stanton Harcourt. I'd been told she had left the filling station and stranded on a country road along the way to see her godchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd just acquired it a short while ago when my other car, which I'd used for more than 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she offered me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Oxfordshire lady!

I appreciated a perfect evening cycling on my afternoon off and felt delighted with myself the next working day as I set off to aid a new couple who were vacationing in Stanton Harcourt. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their classic Skoda Superb, and were about half an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for being so confused. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this situation occurs everyday in Oxfordshire and that it's in reality nothing to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I waved so long and pondered on what my missus would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

A young lady from Stanton Harcourt with her little ones in her diesel company's Mercedes C-Class had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She called us sobbing and extremely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything should be ok and that she would be back in action quickly. When we arrived she was still upset but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable.

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.
