The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not crank the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in S44 Postcode - Stanfree Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to help an older lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel buff Volvo in Stanfree. I had been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "I have been getting relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel as I had only just acquired it a few days ago right after my other one, which I had had for about twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Derbyshire lady!

It doesn't matter if your vehicle is brand new or older, we have the capabilities, expertise AND hardware to be sure that your vehicle is drained and flushed of all contaminated fuel as soon as possible, which means that you can proceed with your drive with minimal interruption.

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.

Common Misfuel Warning signs:

  • Loss in engine power
  • Vehicle conking out, jumping or even hiccuping
