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

Out of fuel in Stebbing (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the common issues which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Essex we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not knowing how to use it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle every type 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.
