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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Suffolk to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in IP28 Postcode - Herringswell Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 on a rainy Saturday and I was en route to help an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel cobalt blue Mitsubishi Challenger in Herringswell. I'd been informed she drove away from the filling station forecourt and broken down on a rural lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I am becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel because I'd just acquired it a few days back after my old car, which I had owned for in excess of 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the drain and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Suffolk 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 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.
