The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is likely to result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

This was what we call the night shift. It was close to dawn and nobody was about. It had become pretty quiet thus far, and Paul and I were loafing around looking through a couple of old magazines. That was an unusual quiet moment in Somerset. Actually it was that calm that when the phone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The person told me: "I just ended my overnight shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel metallic grey Suzuki Sidekick". I asked him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was located and we headed out, arriving in Lambridge no more than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the motor and he thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. While we were heading back home we spotted two girls on the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
