The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Westholme

I'm not actually very interested in doing work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just departed home following a magnificent roast cooked by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a guy who had put the incorrect fuel in his metallic red Hyundai Santa Fe. He was located in Lower Westholme thus it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I pulled up behind the car and got out he told me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on other stuff and failed to grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I caused any kind of damage through starting it?" I stated truth be told there probably should not be any damage and that I'd get the fuel drained as soon as possible. Obviously I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and another contented customer had the ability to carry on with his journey without any subsequent fuss. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and this is what can make earning a living on Sundays in Somerset just a little bit less painful for me!

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.
