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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel.

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.
