The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can easily cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases fairly simply.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BS25 Postcode - Hale Coombe Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a gloomy Wednesday and we were en route to assist an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel navy blue Mercedes-Benz SL-Class in Hale Coombe. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a backwater road en route to see her family. I plugged the location in the Satnav and was with her within an hour. I turned up at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she explained, "I'm getting quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I'd only purchased it a couple of days back when my other one, which I'd used for over thirty years, finally stopped working". I finished the job and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a pleasant Somerset lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Hale Coombe - Wrong Fuel in Car Hale Coombe

I had enjoyed a great day cycling on the weekend and was feeling cheerful the next working day as I headed out to assist a new couple who were on holiday in Hale Coombe. They stopped after adding petrol in their khaki green Cadillac XLR, and the car was approximately half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you conceivably be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass on a regular basis in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove away I waved goodbye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly 2:30 in the morning and noone was around. It was rather quiet thus far, and me and Paul were loafing reading through some old newspapers. That was an uncommon tranquil moment in Somerset. It was indeed that calm that the instant the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The person explained: "I've finished my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a diesel wife's Renault Clio by mistake". We told him to tell us where the vehicle was and we headed out, ending up in Hale Coombe under half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he said thanks for getting there so fast. While we were returning to base we noticed two women at the edge of the road who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we stopped to change it, 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.
