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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations quite quickly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

I enjoyed a perfect day hiking during my off day and felt cheerful with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young family away in Thamesmead. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their beloved Mitsubishi Excel, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled as I listened to the girl chastising her spouse for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this situation happens all the time in Bexley and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove off I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
