The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Leicestershire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly due to people being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Goadby

I'm not necessarily that keen on working on weekends, and the other day was no different. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after eating a magnificent roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on my way to help a guy after he had put the wrong fuel in his son's Ford Club Wagon. He was somewhere in Goadby thus it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I arrived at the car and got out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my attention on other considerations and did not perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused some harm because of starting it?" I explained there shouldn't be damage and that also I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel immediately. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and so yet another pleased client was able to carry on with their trip with no bother. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and this is what makes operating on weekends in Leicestershire a tiny bit easier to me!
