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


AdBlue Contamination

In Croydon we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CR0 Postcode - Addiscombe Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and I was off to help an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel light green Mercedes C-Class in Addiscombe. I had been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up along a rural lane on the way to see her godchildren. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she said to me, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had only bought it several days back because my old one, which I used for more than twenty years, eventually died on me". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. What a delightful Croydon lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Addiscombe - Wrong Fuel in Car Addiscombe

I enjoyed a wonderful day hiking on my off day and was feeling contented the next working day as I set out to aid a young couple on vacation in Addiscombe. They had conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their metallic yellow Peugeot 306, and were about an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling off her hubby for being so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this happens regularly in Croydon and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyway, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I made the same mistake... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
