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


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Leicestershire we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not understanding the way to work with it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Call us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Great Bowden - Fuel Rescue Great Bowden

It truly was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had been rather uneventful up to now, and me and John were relaxing looking through several old newspapers. It was an uncommon tranquil time in Leicestershire. It was indeed that tranquil that the moment the phone eventually rang I leaped! The person on the opposite end told me: "I have only just completed my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a diesel husband's BMW Z4". I told him to let us know exactly where the car was and we hit the road, arriving in Great Bowden an hour or so later. The fuel was cleared from the engine and he thanked us for showing up so rapidly. While we were returning to the office we found two girls on the edge of the road who seemed like they suffered a puncture. Obviously we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

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 VAT 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.
