It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were relaxing talking over the recent golf results, waiting around for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Smeeton Westerby and put petrol in her diesel silver Jaguar X-Type rental. The poor lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly can happen. She was able to move the car into a secure area and, since it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could find her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and not so concerned. One more misfuel correction in Leicestershire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will often produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations fairly quickly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Leicestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered 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 a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

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.
