The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations very quickly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

This was the graveyard shift. It was around 2 in the morning and noone was stirring. It had been pretty quiet until now, and Ryan and I were loafing looking through a couple of old papers. That was a rare tranquil moment in Hertfordshire. It was in fact that relaxing that the moment the phone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The voice on the other end told me: "I've only just completed my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel metallic grey Peugeot Bipper". I instructed him to let us know just where the car was and we hit the road, getting to him in South Hatfield not as much as half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the engine. He thanked us for arriving so rapidly. While we were returning to the depot we saw two young ladies on the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, much 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.
