The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations fairly simply.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

    • 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 VAT receipt.
