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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations pretty simply.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Tuesday and we were off to help an elder lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel khaki green Chevrolet Malibu in Wiveliscombe. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched the location in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel as I'd only acquired it a week ago when my other one, which I had owned for in excess of 30 years, finally died on me". I got the job done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a precious Somerset woman!

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.
