The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made out of a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is certainly devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be pulled into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, resulting in devastating and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Contact us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

The owner of a light blue Chevrolet Malibu was regretful that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel automobile when he got onto the street and it spluttered and ceased. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel vehicle," is what he informed us the first time he rang. In all honesty, when he initially contacted us he said he would like to research prices, but he called us back shortly because our price and call-out times were the best.

A young lady from Pool Hey with a full car of little ones in her diesel sombre grey Volvo S60 had put £50 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She contacted us crying and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what would happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that the car should be ok and that she would be back in action in no time at all. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she discovered that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the youngsters on board."

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.
