The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite expediently.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

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 VA 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.
