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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Norfolk to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NR19 Postcode - Northall Green Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and I was on my way to help an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel Ferarri red Toyota Corolla in Northall Green. I'd been advised she had left the filling station and pulled up along a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and got there in less than an hour or so. I got to the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel since I had only got it a short while ago because my other car, which I'd had for over 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Norfolk lady!

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.
