The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel will trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances quite easily.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous 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.
