The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Essex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it right away. And of course never crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Wednesday and we were en route to assist an older lady after she had put petrol in her diesel customised Jaguar XJ in New Thundersley. I'd been told she drove away from the petrol station and stranded along a country lane on route to visit her family. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I got to the destination and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I'd just purchased it a couple of days back because my old one, which I'd used for over twenty five years, finally died". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. What a lovely Essex lady!

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.
