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


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Sheldon

I am not actually very keen on doing work on Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids after a wonderful Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was off to help a man after he had put the wrong petrol in his daughter's Isuzu i-Series. He was somewhere in Sheldon thus I arrived on scene quickly. Just as I pulled up at the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my mind on stuff and did not grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about any problems simply by starting it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be any problems and that also I'd personally drain the wrong fuel quickly. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and one more happy customer could carry on with his journey without the need for hassle. The gentleman couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what can make operating on Sundays in Derbyshire just a little bit less painful for me!

She had filled unleaded in her diesel metallic green Mercedes CLS-Class and, like many people prior to her, believed that she could basically fill up her car with diesel and it'd be alright. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her office. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved in 60 minutes whilst she was working. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you repaired my car."

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.
