The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
