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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather expediently.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Hampshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we can drain it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SO42 Postcode - Furzey Lodge Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and I was on my way to assist an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel modern Jeep Comanche in Furzey Lodge. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down in a rural lane en route to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel as I had only just acquired it a couple of days back right after my former one, which I'd had for about 30 years, eventually broke down". I got the drain done and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a delightful Hampshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Furzey Lodge

We performed a wrong fuel removal exercise on the drive of a beautiful residential home in Furzey Lodge a few weeks ago. "I put petrol in my diesel car and managed to nearly get home when my car cut out." Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was quite late at night, and carried out a thorough fuel drain and cleanse on the cream Ford Transit Connect to everyone's satisfaction.

This was certainly what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It was pretty dead up to now, and Ryan and I were sitting around perusing a number of old magazines. That was an unusual calm time in Hampshire. Actually it was in fact that calm that when the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist on the opposite end said: "I've concluded my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel black BMW M6". I got him to inform us where exactly he was and we headed out, ending up in Furzey Lodge under half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the engine and he said thanks a lot for getting there so promptly. While we were coming back home we saw two girls at the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we got out to change it, much to their elation.

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.
