A guy stopped on a road in Pinfarthings required a fuel drain close to a few weeks ago. His metallic silver Isuzu Impulse was broken down roadside after he had misfueled. He was calm when he called us but somewhat anxious to move his car off the road since he was causing considerable congestion. We arrived in fifteen minutes as our drainer was in neighbouring Pinfarthings and had concluded a fuel drain.

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will often lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances very quickly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Pinfarthings

I am not actually overly inclined to working on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from the wife and kids following a lovely Sunday roast made for me by the better half, and I was on the way to sort out a man because he filled the wrong petrol in his well worn Lexus LS. He was somewhere in Pinfarthings and so I was on scene before long. Just as I arrived behind the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my thoughts on other things and didn't realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about any harm by simply running it?" I stated truth be told there should not be any problems and also I would personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and thus another satisfied customer could continue on his journey without the fuss. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and that is what makes working on weekends in Gloucestershire just that small bit better for me personally!

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.
