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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will often result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Northumberland to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DH8 Postcode - Baybridge Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and I was on my way to help an older lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel friend's Mitsubishi Chariot in Baybridge. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a rural road on route to see her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I reached the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel as I had only just acquired it a week back right after my previous car, which I had owned for more than twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I completed the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a pleasant Northumberland woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Baybridge - Wrong Fuel in Car Baybridge

I appreciated a great evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I headed out to assist a young couple who were on holiday in Baybridge. They had pulled over after filling diesel into their black Fiat Uno, and the car was close to half an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed while I listened to the girl telling her man off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on continuously in Northumberland and that it's nothing to worry about, nonetheless he still had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my wife would ask me if I made the very same error... I'd personally never live it down!

It truly was what we call the graveyard shift. It was about 2:30 in the morning and noone was stirring. It had become fairly quiet so far, and me and Ryan were relaxing looking through some old papers. This was a rare calm hour in Northumberland. Actually it was so peaceful that when the phone rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I have just completed my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel metallic grey Honda in error". We asked him to inform us just where the car was and we left, reaching him in Baybridge only an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He thanked us profusely for getting there so promptly. As we were heading back to the office we saw two young women on the edge of the road who looked like they suffered a puncture. As a result we got out to change it, much to their delight.

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.
