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


Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel will result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations very expediently.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.
