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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel will often lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Lincolnshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

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.
