The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will likely result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases pretty simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a rainy Tuesday and I was off to assist an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel light green Audi riolet in Whitfield. I had been informed she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural lane on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I punched her location straight into the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I arrived at the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was working she said to me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I'd only just got it a short while back because my old car, which I used for about thirty years, finally died on me". I got the drain completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Gloucestershire woman!

I had a wonderful evening golfing during the weekend and was feeling contented the next day as I was en route to help a new family who were on holiday in Whitfield. They'd pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their mint green Chrysler PT Cruiser, and were around an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled as I listened to the woman chastising her spouse for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this happens on a regular basis in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor chap. Anyway, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted so long and pondered on what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Whitfield

Now I'm not necessarily that excited about doing the job on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd just departed home filled with a magnificent dinner cooked for me by the better half, and I was off to sort out a gentleman who filled the incorrect petrol in his mint green Kia Rio. He was located in Whitfield therefore it wasn't long before I got to him. Just as I drove up behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my thoughts on other stuff and didn't realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought on any kind of harm by running it?" I explained truth be told there should not be problems and that also I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained immediately. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and so one more content client had the ability to continue his journey with no fuss. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes working on Sundays in Gloucestershire that tiny bit easier for me!

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.
