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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases very simply.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container lying in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Staffordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in ST4 Postcode - Stoke-upon-Trent Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to help an elder woman after she put petrol in her diesel teal Mercedes CL-Class in Stoke-upon-Trent. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a backwater lane en route to see her grandchildren. I punched the location in the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the car. As I was working she said to me, "Now I'm becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel because I'd only acquired it a few days ago after my former car, which I had owned for about 25 years, finally died on me". I got the drain completed and she offered me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Staffordshire lady!

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.
