The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases very easily.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

He was located in Greenhead therefore it wasn't long before I arrived with him. As I arrived right behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank God! I incredibly had my concentration on other things and failed to realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I inflicted some problems by running 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.
