Eventually we received a call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Walton and filled petrol in a diesel apricot Saab 9-4X rental by mistake. She was fairly irritated apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things often happen. She managed to move the car to a secure position and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Shropshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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.
  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.
