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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases fairly expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NR18 Postcode - Crownthorpe Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and we were on the way to assist an old woman after she put petrol in her diesel cream Range Rover Sport in Crownthorpe. I'd been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a country lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I got to the location and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I'd just got it a couple of days ago right after my previous car, which I had used for about 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the drain and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Norfolk lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Crownthorpe

Now I am not ever that interested in running weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd only just departed home after a wonderful dinner cooked for me by the better half, and I was on my way to help a man after he had put the wrong fuel in his elegant Austin Mini Cooper S. He was only in Crownthorpe and so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I pulled up at the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on other considerations and did not grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought on any damage because of starting it?" I determined there shouldn't be any harm and that I would personally drain the fuel quickly. Obviously I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and then one more pleased client had the ability to continue his trip without any subsequent fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this helps make operating on Sundays in Norfolk that little easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Crownthorpe - Fuel Rescue Crownthorpe

A driver from Crownthorpe with her kids in her diesel work's Vauxhall Vivaro had put £45 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She called us weeping and genuinely distraught as she had never wrong fueled before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that all would be okay and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the kids in the back."

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 VA 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.
