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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations rather expediently.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank in the rear of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Greater Manchester to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BL4 Postcode - Farnworth Misfueling

The owner of a metallic grey Audi RS6 was regretful that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle when he got as far as the road and it coughed and stopped.

In all honesty, when he first phoned us he said he wanted to check around, but he called us back before long because our price and arrival times were the most desirable. As you can imagine, our fuel drainer had him performing his deliveries well within the period we had cited.

A young lady from Farnworth with her youngsters in her diesel maroon Vauxhall Insignia had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the BP service station. She contacted us sobbing and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We told her that everything should be okay and that she would be back in action very quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked.

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.
