The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances rather expediently.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wymans Brook - Wrong Fuel in Car Wymans Brook

I had appreciated a great afternoon cycling during my holiday and was feeling delighted the next day as I set off to aid a new couple who were holidaying in Wymans Brook. They conked out after inserting petrol into their work's Isuzu Ascender, and the car was around an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled as I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing occurs quite frequently in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing to worry about, however he yet still had an earful. Unlucky guy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. As they drove off I waved farewell and wondered what my missus would say to me if ever I made the very same error... I would under no circumstances live it down!

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.
