The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Essex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Essex we have encountered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely do not switch on the car - not even to move it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix all 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.
