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


AdBlue Contamination

All around Berkshire we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RG8 Postcode - Aldworth Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Wednesday and I was on the way to help an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel Ferarri red VW Golf in Aldworth. I'd been told she had driven away from the filling station and stranded along a country lane along the way to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was working she said, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I had just bought it a few days ago after my old one, which I'd had for about twenty years, finally died". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a lovely Berkshire woman!

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.
