Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Colne and put the wrong fuel in her diesel teal BMW 645 hire car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have destroyed the car!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container laying at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases rather simply.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Colne

A young person who had only just got his licence had misfueled his brand new Ford Aspire by having unleaded in his diesel car at the filling station in Colne. He said, "This is just the second occasion I have filled up my car from the time when I paid for it and I don't know what to do." He was afraid because his step father had only just got him the car. He discovered us on the net and so called us right away, afraid about what he ought to do. Our man on the telephones advised him that we would be with him in 45 minutes and to not touch the vehicle while he waited.

It truly was an unsociable time to be up. It was close to dawn and noone was around. It had become fairly quiet up to now, and Brian and I were loafing about reading through a few old newspapers. This was an uncommon quiet time in Cambridgeshire. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the moment the telephone finally rang I jumped! The voice on the phone said: "I've only just concluded my night shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the diesel burgundy red Jaguar by mistake". We instructed him to inform us where he was situated and we headed out, getting to him in Colne less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He thanked us for arriving so fast. While we were coming back to the office we found two young women at the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, to their elation.

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.
