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


Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Hoe Gate (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will deal with any of the normal troubles which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most certainly never turn over the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

We not too long ago got a call about a driver who put the incorrect fuel in his shiny Subaru Impreza WRX in Hoe Gate. He had conked out on the street.

This was certainly the night shift. It was close to 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It was fairly uneventful up to now, and Mark and I were sitting perusing a few old magazines. That was an uncommon restful hour in Hampshire. It was indeed so tranquil that the instant my mobile rang I jumped! The person on the other end explained: "I only just ended my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in my diesel mint green Volkswagen Beetle by mistake". I got him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was and we set off, arriving in Hoe Gate under an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the car. He thanked us for coming out so promptly. As we were heading back to the office we spotted two young women on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a puncture. As a result we pulled up to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
