The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases fairly expediently.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and I was en route to help an elder lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel compact VW GTI in Nether Stowey. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down in a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I had only just purchased it several days ago right after my old one, which I had owned for more than thirty years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Somerset lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Nether Stowey

I am not actually very excited about doing the job Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd just come away from the wife and kids filled with a tasty lunch prepared for me by the wife, and I was on my way to help a guy after he filled the incorrect fuel in his work's BMW X3. He was located in Nether Stowey and so I arrived on scene very quickly. As I drove up behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I had my mind on other things and didn't ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about any kind of damage through driving it?" I revealed that truth be told there probably should not be harm and that also I would remove the contaminated fuel right away. Obviously I removed the fuel from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and so yet another delighted motorist could continue his journey without any subsequent difficulty. He did not stop thanking me, and that is what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Somerset just a small bit better in my opinion!

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to 2 in the morning and nobody was stirring. It was rather dead so far, and me and Paul were sitting browsing a couple of old magazines. This was a rare tranquil moment in Somerset. It was in fact that tranquil that the moment the telephone finally rang it made me start! The customer explained: "I only just completed my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in a diesel bright red Cadillac Escalade ESV". I asked him to let us know where he was and we set off, getting to him in Nether Stowey only half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he said many thanks for getting there so quickly. While we were going back to the office we saw two girls on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to help 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.
