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


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Herefordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather quickly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

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.
