The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances very expediently.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Sunday and I was on the way to help an old lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel expensive Hyundai Entourage in Saxtead Green. I had been informed she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a country road en route to pay a visit to her family. I plugged her location into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I reached the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she told me, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only got it several days ago right after my previous car, which I had owned for in excess of twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a precious Suffolk lady!

I'd had a wonderful day golfing during my holiday and felt contented with myself the next morning as I was on the way to aid a new family who were on vacation in Saxtead Green. They had broken down after filling petrol into their light green Mitsubishi Expo, and were about an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and laughed while I heard to the girl telling off her spouse for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on quite frequently in Suffolk and that it's truly absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor boy. Anyway, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive off I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
