The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!

We will get out to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car. They can also take care of any of the normal troubles which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Essex we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people not understanding the way to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since 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 attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely take care not to start up the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

A young lady from Skye Green with a full car of youngsters in her diesel cream Ford Galaxie had filled her vehicle with £45 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She called us sobbing and very worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that everything should be fine and that she would be back on the road quickly. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters on board."

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.
