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


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather simply.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Crowborough

I'm not ever overly enthusiastic about running weekends, and a while back was the same. I had just departed the family filled with a wonderful lunch made by the better half, and I was en route to help a fellow after he filled the wrong petrol in his mom's Renault Espace. He was stationed in Crowborough and so I was with him before long. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on other things and failed to grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted any kind of problems through starting it?" I explained truth be told there should not be harm and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and one more pleased motorist could continue on their journey without any subsequent bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes earning a living on Sundays in Staffordshire just a tiny bit easier for me personally!

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 VAT 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.
