The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Oxfordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases fairly expediently.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Black Bourton - Wrong Fuel in Car Black Bourton

I'd had a wonderful afternoon fishing during my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I headed out to assist a young couple away in Black Bourton. They had stopped after adding diesel into their son's Dodge Ram, and the car was around an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for being so foolish. "How could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this situation takes place constantly in Oxfordshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he still had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyways, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the same blunder... I'd personally never hear the end of 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 VAT receipt.

  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.
