The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances rather simply.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Dorset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Fiddleford

I wouldn't like conking out in a automobile contaminated with the wrong fuel halfway down the street. Our last customer who filled her car with the wrong fuel (sunflower yellow Cadillac STS) in Fiddleford suffered literally that type of issue: "As you know I incorrectly filled my car with the wrong fuel last week. I was so worried about my mistake that I was actually in tears. But I shouldn't have concerned myself simply because you were outstanding in sorting the problem out."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Fiddleford - Fuel Rescue Fiddleford

A driver from Fiddleford with a full car of kids in her diesel pristine Mitsubishi Endeavor had put £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She contacted us sobbing and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be back on the road soon. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable.

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 VA 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.
