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


Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Rushey Mead (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Leicestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the usual troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Leicestershire we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Any time you get in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

As I was doing the drain she said, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I'd just purchased it several days back after my previous one, which I used for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the job and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Leicestershire lady!

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.
