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 undoubtedly a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases very swiftly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank laying in the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Lancashire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant Lancashire lady!

It truly was what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around dawn and nobody was around. It had become pretty uneventful so far, and me and Brian were sitting reading through a few old papers. That was an uncommon calm moment in Lancashire. It was in fact so tranquil that when the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The customer said: "I finished my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel buff Hyundai". I told him to tell us where exactly he was and we left, reaching him in Higher Walton no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the motor and he said thank you for coming so fast.

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 VA 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.
