The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over East Riding of Yorkshire we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Thorpe le Street

Now I'm not ever excessively keen on carrying out work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids following a wonderful lunch cooked by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a man who had put the wrong petrol in his cream Volvo240. He was located in Thorpe le Street so I was on scene rapidly. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise God! I had my concentration on stuff and didn't realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted some harm because of driving it?" I said that generally there probably should not be any harm and also I would personally remove the fuel at once for him. Needless to say I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and so yet another content client was able to continue their traveling without the fuss. The man did not stop thanking me, and this is what tends to make operating on Sundays in East Riding of Yorkshire just a little bit better in my opinion!

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.
