The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances rather simply.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous 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 VA 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.
