The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel may well result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

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.
