The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel may well contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases pretty quickly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas 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.

Familiar Misfuel Warning signs:
