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


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL15 Postcode - High Woolaston Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! 7:00 am on a sunny Monday and I was en route to assist an old lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel rugged Daewoo Lanos in High Woolaston. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a country lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she explained, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel since I had only just acquired it a couple of days ago because my other car, which I had used for more than twenty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Gloucestershire lady!

A lady from High Woolaston with her kids in her diesel new-shape Volkswagen had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She called us weeping and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what might happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the car would be okay and that she would be up and running soon. When we arrived she was still upset but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined.

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.
