The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases fairly simply.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

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.
