The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lincolnshire we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Lincolnshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Thorpe - Fuel Rescue Thorpe

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was around. It was quite dead so far, and Brian and I were sitting around looking through a number of old papers. It was an unusual quiet moment in Lincolnshire. It was that peaceful that when the phone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist on the opposite end said: "I completed my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in the yellow Ford Club Wagon". We told him to let us know just where he was situated and we left, arriving in Thorpe not as much as half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said thank you for showing up so rapidly. As we were returning home we found two girls at the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
