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


Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Leicestershire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Allexton

I'm certainly not too excited about working on Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd just left the wife and kids after having a lovely Sunday roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a guy who had filled the incorrect petrol in his luxury Porsche Cayman. He was somewhere in Allexton and so it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up at the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank God! I had my mind on something else and failed to realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any problems by simply running it?" I determined generally there should not be any kind of problems and also that I would personally drain the wrong fuel as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and thus another contented client was able to continue their journey without any subsequent difficulty. He did not stop thanking me, and that is what can make operating on weekends in Leicestershire just a small bit easier for me personally!

    • 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.

  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.
