The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is going to result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases rather expediently.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and we were on my way to help an elder woman who put petrol in her diesel cyan Volkswagen in Holbrook. I had been informed she had left the filling station and was broken down on a rural road on route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I got to the car and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she told me, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I had only just got it a short while back when my other car, which I'd owned for over twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Suffolk woman!

A motorist had broken down just near a road in Holbrook. His bright yellow Renault Scenic car had stopped working and he had no idea what was faulty right up until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got virtually no rest the day before and that must have been the reason.

Now I am not necessarily very excited about working on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left home after a lovely roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a man after he filled the incorrect fuel in his bright white Land Rover Range Rover. He was only in Holbrook and so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I arrived at the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my concentration on something else and didn't ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about some damage through running it?" I stated there should not be any kind of problems and also that I'd get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I removed the fuel from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and thus one more content motorist had the ability to carry on with their ride without the fuss. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Suffolk just a small bit less painful in my opinion!

This was certainly what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was roughly 2am and hardly anyone was about. It was rather dead so far, and John and I were relaxing reading through a number of old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet time in Suffolk. It was in fact so peaceful that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end explained: "I completed my night shift and stupidly put petrol in the canary yellow Audi Allroad by mistake". We got him to let us know where he was located and we set off, ending up in Holbrook less than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was removed from the vehicle and he said thanks a lot for coming out so rapidly. As we were going back to the office we saw two young ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
