The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Gloucestershire we have noticed more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In case you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical know-how and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL7 Postcode - South Cerney Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a rainy Wednesday and we were en route to help an old lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic yellow Chrysler PT Cruiser in South Cerney. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a rural road en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I'd only acquired it a short while back because my other one, which I had owned for over thirty years, inevitably died on me". I got the job done and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Gloucestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist South Cerney - Wrong Fuel in Car South Cerney

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I set off to assist a young couple holidaying in South Cerney. They pulled over after filling petrol into their creamy white Mitsubishi Lancer, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman berating her partner for turning out to be so confused. "How could you actually manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this goes on constantly in Gloucestershire and that it's in reality nothing at all to stress about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful by his wife. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the same error... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
