The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Hampshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will often trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases quite simply.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in PO15 Postcode - Fareham Misfueling

Just had a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and I was on my way to help an older lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel brother's Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class in Fareham. I had been advised she had driven away from the filling station and broken down along a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I'd only bought it several days ago when my other one, which I used for more than thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Hampshire lady!

We have complete Environment Agency licencing and full Insurance intended for your own personal reassurance. With in excess of 150 years of joint fuel drainage expertise we know the best way to get the job completed - full stop.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Fareham

I am not actually overly keen on working on weekends, and last week was no different. I'd just left the family after having a magnificent lunch made for me by the missus, and I was on my way to help a gentleman after he had filled the wrong fuel in his work's Daewoo Nubira. He was only in Fareham thus I was with him almost immediately. As I pulled up behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't realise I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I inflicted any problems as a result of running it?" I explained there should not be any problems and that I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel right away for him. Needless to say I drained the fuel from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and then another happy client had the ability to continue on his trip without the need for bother. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and this is exactly what tends to make operating on Sundays in Hampshire just that little bit better to me!

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.
