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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations pretty expediently.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Suffolk to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

A somewhat alarmed driver called us from the BP petrol station at Suffolk to advise us that he had put petrol into his diesel faithful Renault Laguna; he wasn't quite certain how he'd done it. We said to him it was not a concern and before long had our specialist with him to clear the contaminated fuel from his vehicle. Having extracted the contaminated fuel, he was subsequently back on the road. He told us; "I am really surprised I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the gentleman who appeared to do the fuel drain was genuinely very good - he did not make me look and feel stupid."

We are thoroughly registered and covered and so you understand your motor vehicle is in reliable hands. Because of over 150 years of joint fuel drainage experience we know exactly how to have the task done - period.

A couple of days ago a driver called us just after his beloved Seat Arosa stopped on a street in Shop Corner. He had unintentionally put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got so far as the road before being forced to pull up. It was yet early in the day and our technician, who resides locally, was with him in about 20 minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle.

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Shop Corner

I'm not actually so keen on doing work on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids filled with a superb roast prepared by the wife, and I was on my way to help a man who had filled the wrong petrol in his son's Daihatsu Charade. He was stationed in Shop Corner and so it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I arrived behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on other things and failed to grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of harm by simply running it?" I stated generally there probably should not be any harm and that also I'd get the wrong fuel drained quickly. As expected I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and thus yet another happy motorist could continue on his trip without any bother. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what can make earning a living on weekends in Suffolk just a small bit easier for me personally!

This was most definitely the night shift. It was about 3:30 in the morning and noone was stirring. It had been quite quiet until now, and me and Mark were sitting reading through a few old newspapers. This was a rare calm moment in Suffolk. It was in fact that calm that the moment the telephone inevitably rang it made me start! The motorist on the opposite end stated: "I've finished my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the old Honda Civic by mistake". We asked him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was located and we hit the road, ending up in Shop Corner 30 minutes later. The fuel was extracted from the engine. He thanked us profusely for coming out so quickly. While we were going back home we saw two ladies at the side of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to 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.
