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


Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will often result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lockerley

Now I'm not so enthusiastic about doing work on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just left the family filled with a lovely roast made for us by the better half, and I was on the way to sort out a guy who put the incorrect petrol in his new Peugeot 406. He was only in Lockerley so I was on scene almost immediately. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my attention on other considerations and did not realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought on problems by simply driving it?" I determined there shouldn't be harm and that I'd remove the contaminated fuel quickly for him. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and thus another happy client was able to carry on with his ride without the need for difficulty. The gentleman couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what can make operating on weekends in Hampshire that little less painful for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lockerley - Fuel Rescue Lockerley

A motorist working in Lockerley contacted us after she tried to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel dark green Toyota MR2 and, like plenty before her, thought that she would be able to just fill up her tank with diesel and it would be fine. The engine was chugging and then it died when she came to the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted in one hour while she was in the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely glad you repaired my vehicle."

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.
