The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances very swiftly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TF11 Postcode - Hatton Grange Misfueling

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Saturday and I was en route to help an older woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel dirty red Smart Forfour in Hatton Grange. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station and broken down on a backwater lane on route to see her family. I got her location punched into the TomTom and was with her within an hour or so. I got to the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she explained, "I am getting fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only got it a few days ago because my former car, which I had for more than twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Shropshire lady!

And so, in case you have topped up your petrol vehicle with diesel, or the wrong fuel in your diesel vehicle somewhere in Shropshire, contact us right away. Our skilled technicians are ready for your call.

I appreciated a perfect day hiking on my holiday and felt cheerful the following day as I set off to help a young family who were vacationing in Hatton Grange. They'd pulled over after filling diesel into their cream Fiat 500, and the car was around half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for actually being so silly. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this happens continuously in Shropshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, but he all the same had his ear bent. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove away I mouthed goodbye and considered what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

A driver from Hatton Grange with her kids in her diesel faithful Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 had filled her car with £50 of petrol at the Tesco petrol station. She called us weeping and extremely upset as she had never wrong fueled previously and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that everything would be alright and that she would be back in action soon. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the little ones in the back."

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.
