The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will often result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Bedfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in LU5 Postcode - Chalgrave Misfueling

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Tuesday and we were on the way to help an elder sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel cobalt blue Peugeot 107 in Chalgrave. I had been advised she had driven away from the filling station and pulled up in a backwater lane along the way to see her family. I punched her location in the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I'd just purchased it a couple of days back after my other car, which I'd used for over thirty years, inevitably died". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Bedfordshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Chalgrave

We a few weeks ago had a call from a young man who put the incorrect fuel in his dark blue Chevrolet Suburban in Chalgrave. He had broken down on the street. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't recognise the predicament before we broke down. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and got it running . I was impressed by both how quick you were and your pricing". Needless to say we arrived on the scene rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival the fuel drainer said the motorist was fuming, but was happy when we finished.

This really was what we call the night shift. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had been pretty uneventful until now, and me and Ryan were loafing reading through a number of old magazines. This was an unusual tranquil moment in Bedfordshire. Actually it was in fact so quiet that when the telephone finally rang I jumped! The person on the other end said: "I've only just ended my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the diesel red Hyundai Elantra by mistake". I instructed him to let us know where exactly the car was located and we headed out, reaching him in Chalgrave no more than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the motor and he said thanks a lot for getting there so rapidly. As we were coming back home we saw two young women at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much 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 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.
