The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cambridgeshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists being unsure of how 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 frequently directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

In case you find yourself in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the technical expertise and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Little Ditton

I'm not actually excessively enthusiastic about doing the job Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from home following a fantastic dinner cooked by the wife, and I was off to assist a man after he filled the wrong petrol in his navy blue Dodge Charger. He was located in Little Ditton so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I drove up at the rear of the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on stuff and failed to ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on any problems by running it?" I explained truth be told there should not be problems and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. As expected I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and yet another delighted customer had the ability to continue on their journey with no bother. He did not stop thanking me, and that is what helps make operating on Sundays in Cambridgeshire just that little bit less painful for me personally!

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.
