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


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may well trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

I'd had a perfect afternoon golfing during my off day and was feeling cheerful the following morning as I headed out to aid a young family away in Barbourne. They had conked out after adding petrol in their metallic red VW Touareg, and the car was about an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled as I listened to the lady berating her husband for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs everyday in Worcestershire and that it's nothing to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I waved goodbye and wondered what my wife would ask me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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 VAT 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.
