The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases quite quickly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CV36 Postcode - Stourton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Wednesday and I was on my way to assist an elder lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel black Cadillac Fleetwood in Stourton. She told us that she had left the filling station and pulled up in a country road on route to pay a visit to her family. I plugged the location into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I arrived at the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel since I'd only bought it a week ago when my other one, which I'd had for more than 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the drain and she presented me a toffee and said thank you. What a lovely Warwickshire lady!

A motorist living in Stourton phoned us shortly after she had managed to get her misfueled car to the office. She had put petrol in her diesel winter grey Land Rover Defender 90 and, like many before her, assumed that she would be able to simply top up her vehicle with diesel and it'd be fine. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired inside an hour or so whilst she was at work. She came out when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm really pleased you fixed my vehicle."

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.
