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


AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is actually disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in your tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be squirted into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Contact us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

This was an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been rather dead up to now, and me and Brian were relaxing reading through some old papers. That was an uncommon tranquil moment in Lancashire. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that the instant the telephone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The customer said: "I completed my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my sunflower yellow Vauxhall Combo by mistake". I got him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was and we left, arriving in Banks not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He said thanks for showing up so fast. As we were going back home we found two girls on the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, 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 VA 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.
