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


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated 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 motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Acton

We had a call about a driver who put the incorrect fuel in his silver Seat Exeo in Acton. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After adding petrol in my diesel car I didn't recognise the dilemma till it stopped working. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning again. I was happy as a result of both your call-out time and your rates". It goes without saying that we arrived on the scene promptly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. The customer was over the moon by the time we finished and he drove away cheerful.

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It was fairly dead so far, and me and Brian were loafing about looking through a couple of old newspapers. It was an unusual tranquil time in Worcestershire. Actually it was so calm that the instant my mobile finally rang I leaped with surprise! The person explained: "I've only just concluded my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in a diesel racing green VW Touareg". We told him to inform us exactly where he was located and we set off, ending up in Acton under an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he thanked us for coming out so quickly. While we were heading back to the depot we found two young women on the side of the street who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we got out 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.
