The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel can certainly contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite quickly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

A motorist employed in Tunstall called us after she managed to get her misfueled car to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel friend's Cadillac Seville and, like many people before her, assumed that she would be able to just fill the vehicle with diesel and it would run no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it cut out when she reached the entrance of her work. We promptly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired inside 60 minutes while she was in the office. She came outside afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm really relieved you sorted my car."

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.
