The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will likely lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Lancashire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BB3 Postcode - Whitehall Misfueling

What a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to help an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel matte black VW Fox in Whitehall. I had been advised she had driven away from the filling station and was broken down on a rural lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her within an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "Now I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I had only just purchased it a week ago because my former car, which I had had for over 25 years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious Lancashire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Whitehall

We fairly recently had a phone call about a businessman who had put the incorrect fuel in his canary yellow Renault Megane in Whitehall. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "It was incredible how speedy you guys were in getting a technician out to aid me when I erroneously petrol in my diesel. Thank you so much". It goes without saying that we arrived on the scene promptly and purged the engine after draining all the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived the engineer said the customer was fuming, but was happy afterwards.

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and noone was around. It had become rather dead until now, and me and Mark were sitting about reading several old newspapers. That was an unusual calm moment in Lancashire. It was in fact so quiet that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The voice on the opposite end stated: "I have only just finished my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel light blue Volkswagen Jetta III". I got him to inform us exactly where he was and we left, ending up in Whitehall 30 minutes later. The fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming out so fast. While we were returning home we found two women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, much 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:

  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.
