The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

I had enjoyed a fantastic day hiking during my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I set off to help a new family who were on holiday in Egginton Common. They'd stopped after inserting diesel into their Ferarri red Vauxhall Vivaro, and were about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I heard to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so daft. "How could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass regularly in Derbyshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, however he still had his ear bent. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

This was exactly what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was close to 3 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had been quite quiet up to now, and me and Brian were relaxing looking at a couple of old newspapers. It was a rare quiet moment in Derbyshire. It was in fact that relaxing that the instant my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The voice on the phone told me: "I finished my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in a diesel elegant Volvo XC60 in error". We told him to let us know where he was located and we left, getting to him in Egginton Common less than an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the engine. He said thanks for getting there so quickly. While we were returning home we saw two women at the side of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result we got out to help them change it, 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.
