The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not knowing the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not crank the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep!

Wrong Fuel Assist Tarleton - Wrong Fuel in Car Tarleton

I had appreciated a perfect evening cycling during my off day and felt delighted with myself the following day as I set off to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Tarleton. They had pulled over after filling petrol into their mom's Fiat Panda, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled as I heard to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens regularly in Lancashire and that it's actually nothing to be anxious about, however he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Poor boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted farewell and thought about what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the very same error... I would personally never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Tarleton

Now I'm certainly not that enthusiastic about running Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd only just come away from the family filled with a superb dinner made for me by the missus, and I was en route to assist a fellow who had put the incorrect fuel in his mint green Peugeot 505. He was only in Tarleton so I arrived there rapidly. As I arrived at the rear of the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on other stuff and did not ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused some problems by simply running it?" I explained generally there probably should not be harm and that I would personally remove the fuel quickly. As expected I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and one more contented client had the ability to continue his journey without any subsequent hassle. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes carrying out work on weekends in Lancashire just a little bit easier to me!

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.
