The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Bristol 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 safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their burgundy red BMW Z3, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and laughed as I heard to the gal berating her man for actually being so confused. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him.

I'm not actually too inclined to running on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just departed the wife and kids after a tasty dinner cooked for us by the wife, and I was off to deal with a guy after he had filled the wrong petrol in his new Toyota Prius. He was somewhere in Lawrence Weston thus it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. As I drove up behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I had my attention on other things and didn't perceive I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused damage as a result of driving it?" I said there probably should not be damage and also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained quickly. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and yet another contented customer could continue on their journey without the need for hassle. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes earning a living on Sundays in Bristol that little bit less painful in my opinion!

This was certainly what is called the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and noone was about. It had been rather uneventful thus far, and me and Mark were sitting reading a couple of old articles. That was a rare peaceful hour in Bristol. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that when my mobile ultimately rang I leaped! The motorist on the opposite end explained: "I've only just ended my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel son's BMW 745 in error". We told him to let us know where the car was and we headed out, arriving in Lawrence Weston 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the engine. He said thanks a lot for getting there so promptly. While we were heading back to the office we spotted two young ladies at the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we pulled up to change it, 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:

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • 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.

  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.
