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 significant matter to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel can lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases quite easily.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

This was most definitely what is called the night shift. It was around 2am and hardly anyone was around. It had been quite quiet until now, and Ryan and I were loafing around perusing a few old articles. This was a rare quiet moment in Surrey. Actually it was so calm that when the phone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The person told me: "I have just concluded my night shift and incredibly put petrol in my light green Mercedes CLK-Class by mistake". I got him to tell us where exactly the car was and we hit the road, reaching him in Thorpe Green only an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the motor and he said thanks a lot for arriving so fast. As we were going back to the depot we saw two ladies on the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up 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 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.
