Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Chavel and put petrol in a diesel metallic blue Porsche Boxster rental in error. She was somewhat affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!"

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Shropshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may well result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations rather quickly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.
