The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations pretty quickly.

You should know that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Fulking

I'm not ever excessively inclined to working weekends, and last week was the same. I'd only just left home after eating a lovely dinner made for me by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a man who put the wrong fuel in his raspberry red Mitsubishi Challenger. He was somewhere in Fulking and so I arrived on scene very quickly. As I pulled up behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't perceive I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created harm by simply starting it?" I said that there shouldn't be any kind of harm and also that I would get the fuel drained at once for him. It goes without saying that I drained the fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and so another happy motorist could continue on their traveling without difficulty. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is what tends to make earning a living on weekends in West Sussex a tiny bit better 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.
