The 3 things you NEED 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 usually a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container lying at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Lancashire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

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.
