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


Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Cribbs Causeway (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car. They will be able to fix the usual troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people being unsure of how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely never turn over the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct different 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.
