The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

I popped the location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel as I'd only acquired it a week back when my old one, which I'd owned for about 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost".

This was exactly what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about 3 in the morning and noone was about. It had become pretty quiet thus far, and me and Brian were sitting looking through a couple of old newspapers. This was an uncommon quiet moment in Wiltshire. It was in fact that peaceful that when the telephone inevitably rang I leaped! The voice on the phone told me: "I have concluded my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in my boss' BMW 650". I got him to let us know exactly where the car was located and we left, arriving in Bishopstone only 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for showing up so quickly. As we were going back home we spotted two women at the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up to 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.
