The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely don't crank the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Whenever you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical competence and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PR7 Postcode - Pincock Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Saturday and I was on the way to assist an old sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel faithful Toyota Solara in Pincock. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station and was pulled up in a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she explained, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I had just purchased it a week ago after my former car, which I had for more than twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Lancashire lady!

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.
