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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Sunday and we were on the way to help an elder lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel winter grey Porsche 911 in Upper Town. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up in a country road en route to see her godchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel since I'd just got it several days ago because my previous one, which I used for in excess of twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the drain completed and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Suffolk woman!

This was certainly what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and nobody was about. It was rather quiet so far, and Brian and I were relaxing browsing a few old articles. It was an uncommon tranquil hour in Suffolk. Actually it was so calm that when my mobile eventually rang I leaped! The person on the other end told me: "I've just finished my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in a diesel metallic blue Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG". We told him to tell us where he was and we left, reaching him in Upper Town only an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thank you for getting there so promptly. While we were heading back to the depot we saw two ladies at the edge of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously 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.
