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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations quite quickly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

A motorist had come to a halt on a road, Hardington Mandeville having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was in tears and quite agitated as she had put £40 of petrol in her diesel car.

I'm very gratified that it was so very easily repairable."

I had a great afternoon hiking during my day off and felt delighted the next day as I set off to aid a new couple who were on vacation in Hardington Mandeville. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their metallic green VW Jetta, and they were approximately an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked as I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass everyday in Somerset and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, even so he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good-bye and wondered what my missus would do to me if I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!

This was what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly 3am and nobody was stirring. It had been fairly quiet thus far, and John and I were sitting looking through a few old articles. That was an unusual calm moment in Somerset. It was that calm that the instant the phone ultimately rang I jumped! The person on the phone explained: "I have just finished my evening shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in my company's BMW 6 Series". I instructed him to inform us just where the car was located and we set off, ending up in Hardington Mandeville no more than an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine. He said thank you for showing up so rapidly. As we were coming back to base we spotted two young women on the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. So we stopped to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
