The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BA3 Postcode - Leigh upon Mendip Misfueling

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and I was en route to assist an old woman after she had put petrol in her diesel daughter's Jeep Commander in Leigh upon Mendip. I had been advised she had driven away from the filling station and stranded in a country lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I had just bought it a few days ago right after my previous one, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty five years, finally died". I got the job completed and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Somerset woman!

This was the graveyard shift. It was close to 2:30 in the morning and nobody was around. It was fairly quiet until now, and Mark and I were loafing about browsing some old newspapers. That was an uncommon calm moment in Somerset. It was indeed that quiet that the instant the telephone eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the opposite end told me: "I finished my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel friend's BMW 650 by mistake". I asked him to inform us exactly where he was and we headed out, getting to him in Leigh upon Mendip half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us for showing up so quickly. While we were going back to base we found two ladies at the side of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we pulled over to help them change it, 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.
