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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather expediently.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Lancashire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in PR1 Postcode - Frenchwood Misfueling

A lady had come to a stop on a road, Frenchwood having just wrong fueled. She was crying and quite distressed as she had put £40 petrol in her diesel car. As she contacted us we attempted to calm her as well as we could, reassuring her that it would be okay. By the time we got to her she was no longer aggrieved and was rather curious in watching our engineer do the fuel drain on her brand new Volvo C70. Soon after she said: "My vehicle is akin to my child, I just got it so it truly concerned me that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm happy that it was very easily fixable."

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Frenchwood

I am not actually that keen on working on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd only just departed home after a lovely dinner made by the missus, and I was off to deal with a man because he put the incorrect petrol in his sombre grey Ford C-MAX Hybrid. He was only in Frenchwood so I arrived there before long. Just as I arrived right behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my mind on stuff and failed to perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I inflicted harm by simply running it?" I determined generally there probably should not be any harm and that I would get the contaminated fuel drained right away. As expected I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and so one more content customer had the ability to carry on with their journey without the need for difficulty. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what makes earning a living on Sundays in Lancashire a little easier to me!

A man who had put unleaded in his diesel canary yellow Ford Taurus contacted us for a fuel drain at the Murco petrol station in Frenchwood. He thought it would be good to fill up before going on to the local caravan park . "I put petrol rather than diesel which wasn't a smart way to begin to our vacation." It was definitely no challenge at all for our fuel drainer to go out and do the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good holiday break.

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.
