The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Herefordshire to take care of removing and recycling 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 a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Woolhope Cockshoot

I am not ever too keen on doing the job Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just come away from home filled with a magnificent Sunday roast made by the better half, and I was on the way to help a man who filled the incorrect fuel in his metallic yellow Lexus IS. He was only in Woolhope Cockshoot hence I was there quickly. As I pulled up at the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on other stuff and didn't realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought on any problems simply by driving it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained immediately for him. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and another contented client could carry on with their trip without the need for difficulty. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that makes working on weekends in Herefordshire just that little bit better to me!

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been fairly dead up to now, and Paul and I were relaxing perusing a few old newspapers. This was an unusual quiet time in Herefordshire. It was indeed so quiet that the instant the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The customer said: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel father's Jaguar XF by mistake". I told him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we hit the road, arriving in Woolhope Cockshoot no more than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for coming so promptly. While we were heading back home we noticed two women at the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their delight.

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.
