The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will often produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances quite simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Dorset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SP7 Postcode - Stour Row Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and I was off to help an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel matte black Volkswagen Eurovan in Stour Row. She told us that she had left the petrol station and stranded in a country road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she explained, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel since I had just purchased it a short while ago after my old car, which I had used for more than twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Dorset woman!

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.
