The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations fairly quickly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Leicestershire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages.

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.
