The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in PE19 Postcode - Stirtloe Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to assist an old woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Fiat Ulysse in Stirtloe. She told us that she had left the filling station and stranded along a country road en route to see her grandchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and got there within an hour. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd just bought it a few days back because my former car, which I'd owned for over thirty years, inevitably died". I completed the job and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a delightful Cambridgeshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Stirtloe

We got a telephone call from a individual whose faithful Honda CR-Z had conked out on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I mixed up the pumps and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my vehicle by mistake. You arrived and fixed the situation after my vehicle gave up." We drained the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the system completely afterwards and the motorist could then go on with his deliveries.

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had been quite dead so far, and me and Brian were sitting around browsing several old papers. That was an uncommon quiet hour in Cambridgeshire. Actually it was that quiet that the instant the phone finally rang I jumped! The motorist told me: "I just finished my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in a teal BMW Z8". I instructed him to let us know where exactly the car was situated and we left, reaching him in Stirtloe an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming so quickly. As we were heading back to the depot we found two women on the side of the highway who looked like they had a puncture. As a result 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.
