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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Wiltshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

What a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Monday and I was off to assist an old lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel mint green Volvo XC70 in Corsham. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded on a country lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched the location straight into the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I reached the destination and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was working she said to me, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only purchased it a couple of days back because my old car, which I used for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably died on me". I got the job done and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Wiltshire lady!

This really was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly 3:30am and almost noone was around. It had become fairly quiet up to now, and me and Brian were sitting around looking at several old newspapers. It was an unusual tranquil hour in Wiltshire. It was that calm that the instant the telephone rang it made me start! The person on the opposite end said: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in my metallic yellow BMW 745". I told him to let us know just where he was located and we headed out, arriving in Corsham under 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he said thank you for coming out so fast. As we were returning to the office we found two young women at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
