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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
