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




When we reach your vehicle

If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the car, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

If our technician discovers that it is indeed the problem of wrong fuel, he will start solving it quickly since he will have fresh fuel as well as the needed tools with him. He will instantly remove mixed fuel and then replace it with fresh fuel, and we won’t charge you extra on the fresh fuel.

Other Services

Did you know that we also give other services?

You should also remember that we dispose of contaminated fuel on behalf of our customers. The contaminated fuel should not be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by a professional in this field because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the environment. You should allow us to do it for you since we are not only authorized by the Environment Agency but also capable of doing it in the proper way, both legally and safely.

It is also a service that we give separately to business and private customers at a fee. All you need to do is give us access, and it won’t matter if it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or other container, we will drain it. We can then get rid of the contaminated liquids, and dump them securely to the relevant regulations.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Putting the incorrect fuel in your car isn’t the only reason for engine problems. The presence of water in your fuel also makes your car to show similar symptoms, which include: lack of power, trouble running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. Water is also likely to cause permanent damage to fuel filters.

AdBlue if added incorrectly it can also show similar signs in your car. This additive which is utilized to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the car rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. Hence if someone who is not aware of this process tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

In both of the cases above, we can provide you with the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the wrong fuel in your car. Whatever caused you to get stranded, we can assist you to get back on the road. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

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.
