The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
