It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! James and I were relaxing commenting on the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Peasemore and filled petrol in a diesel bright white Mitsubishi lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and not so anxious. Yet another job in Berkshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And of course never crank the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
