The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations quite quickly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

This was certainly the night shift. It was close to 2 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It was rather dead so far, and me and Mark were loafing browsing some old papers. It was a rare calm hour in Croydon. It was indeed so tranquil that when the phone rang it made me start! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I ended my overnight shift and stupidly filled petrol in the partner's Vauxhall Monaro". I got him to tell us exactly where he was located and we headed out, ending up in Woodcote half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the motor. He said thanks a lot for coming so rapidly. While we were heading back home we spotted two ladies at the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to help 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 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.
