The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases rather easily.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Derbyshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

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.
