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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can potentially bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations fairly quickly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Lincolnshire 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 possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in LN4 Postcode - Haven Bank Misfueling

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Sunday and we were off to help an elder lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel expensive Mercedes-Benz Sprinter in Haven Bank. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a country lane on route to visit her family. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was doing it she said to me, "I have been getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I had only just got it a short while back when my former car, which I'd used for about thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a lovely Lincolnshire woman!

Yesterday a driver telephoned us just after his canary yellow BMW Alpina B7 cut out on a road in Haven Bank. He had inadvertently put unleaded in his diesel motor and got as far as the street before being forced to pull up. It was still early in the day and our technical engineer, who lives nearby, got to him in less than fifteen minutes. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I appreciate it."

A woman driving in Haven Bank called us as soon as she had tried to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel green Mercedes R-Class and, like many people prior to her, thought that she would be able to simply fill the car with diesel and it would be no problem. The vehicle was coughing and then it stopped when she reached the entrance of her work. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it sorted inside one hour whilst she was working. She came outside when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you fixed my car."

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.
