The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank laying at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Warwickshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can easily cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

I had enjoyed a great evening fishing during my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next morning as I set out to help a new couple who were away in Arlescote. They'd conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their clean white BMW 530, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed while I listened to the woman berating her partner for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing happens frequently in Warwickshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, but he yet still got an earful. Unlucky guy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed so long and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I'd never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Arlescote

I am not necessarily too interested in doing the job on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just departed the family following a lovely dinner made for me by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a gentleman after he put the wrong fuel in his winter grey BMW Z4 M Roadster. He was located in Arlescote thus it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I pulled up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and didn't realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused any kind of problems through starting it?" I stated that generally there should not be any kind of damage and that also I would get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and so one more delighted customer had the ability to continue on his ride without any subsequent fuss. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes operating on weekends in Warwickshire just a tiny bit less painful in my opinion!

A motorist who had unluckily put the wrong fuel in his diesel rugged Ford Escort called us for assistance at the Esso petrol filling station in Arlescote. He thought it would be good to fill up before continuing on to the nearby recreation park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol instead of diesel which probably wasn't a great way to start to our holiday." It was certainly no challenge whatsoever for our engineer to go along and do the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good vacation.

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.
