The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Essex we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as 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 not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course do not turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

If you get in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical skills and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was exactly what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly 2:30 in the morning and noone was about. It was fairly uneventful thus far, and me and Brian were relaxing looking at a couple of old papers. This was a rare tranquil hour in Essex. It was indeed that tranquil that the moment my mobile inevitably rang it made me start! The person on the opposite end told me: "I only just completed my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in a modern Mazda929". I told him to tell us where exactly he was situated and we headed out, arriving in Alphamstone no more than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he thanked us for showing up so quickly. While we were coming back home we saw two women on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat. Obviously we got out to change it, much to their elation.

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.
