The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Leicestershire we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Give us a call if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Leicestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in LE17 Postcode - Laughton Misfueling

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Sunday and I was on my way to help an elder woman who had put petrol in her diesel maroon BMW Z4 M in Laughton. I had been advised she had driven away from the petrol station and was broken down in a rural road on route to visit her family. I popped the location into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was doing the work she told me, "I have been getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I had only just bought it a couple of days ago because my former one, which I owned for in excess of twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Leicestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Laughton

We recently had a call from a man who put the wrong fuel in his daughter's Kia Rio5 in Laughton. He had broken down on the road. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't realize the predicament up until I broke down. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it functioning again. I was pleased by both how quick you were and your charges". Of course we showed up punctually and flushed the engine after draining all the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived the fuel drainer said the customer was scowling, but was pretty happy when we finished.

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.
