The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations very expediently.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

We completed a wrong fuel removal job on the drive of a beautiful property in Forest Green recently. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to virtually get home when my car stopped."

This was certainly what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 3am and almost noone was about. It had been pretty uneventful until now, and Ryan and I were sitting reading through a couple of old articles. That was an unusual calm moment in Gloucestershire. It was so calm that the instant the phone rang I jumped with surprise! The person on the opposite end told me: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a diesel bright yellow Peugeot Bipper in error". I got him to let us know just where he was situated and we headed out, getting to him in Forest Green no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was extracted from the engine and he thanked us for coming so promptly. While we were heading back home we spotted two ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we got out to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
