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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel is likely to cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in North Yorkshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

What a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Monday and I was en route to help an old woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel friend's Renault Clio in Mearbeck. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a country lane en route to visit her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I had just purchased it a couple of days back after my previous one, which I'd owned for about 30 years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a precious North Yorkshire woman!

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.
