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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TF9 Postcode - Ashfields Misfueling

What a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Sunday and I was en route to assist an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel green Audi S4 in Ashfields. I'd been advised she had driven away from the petrol station and was broken down in a backwater lane on route to see her godchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she said, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel as I'd just bought it a couple of days ago right after my other car, which I had owned for about 25 years, eventually broke down". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Shropshire lady!

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.
