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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations rather swiftly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist The Lakes - Wrong Fuel in Car The Lakes

I had a wonderful afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling delighted the next working day as I set out to aid a new family holidaying in The Lakes. They'd stopped after inserting diesel in their rugged Land Rover Range Rover Sport, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled as I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this situation goes on everyday in Worcestershire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, but he still had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. In any case, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While they drove away I shouted good bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I'd never ever live it down!

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.
