The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Tuesday and we were off to help an older woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel modern VW Passat in Clapton. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and was pulled up in a country road on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she said to me, "I have been becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I had only just purchased it a few days ago because my former one, which I'd used for in excess of 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely Somerset lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Clapton

Now I am certainly not overly hot for working on weekends, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids following a lovely lunch made for us by the missus, and I was off to deal with a fellow who filled the incorrect petrol in his silver BMW M5. He was somewhere in Clapton thus I arrived on scene very quickly. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on other things and failed to ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any harm by running it?" I revealed there probably should not be problems and that also I would personally get the fuel drained quickly for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and so another contented motorist had the ability to carry on with his journey without the need for difficulty. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes operating on Sundays in Somerset just a tiny bit better for me personally!

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.
