The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Brent we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Cricklewood - Wrong Fuel in Car Cricklewood

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling delighted the following day as I set off to aid a young couple holidaying in Cricklewood. They had stopped after adding diesel in their classic Jaguar XK Series, and they were about half an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl chastising her man for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass regularly in Brent and that it's actually nothing at all to be concerned about, but he still got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what my missus would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I would never ever live it down!

It truly was the night shift. It was about 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It was pretty dead until now, and Paul and I were relaxing looking at some old articles. It was an unusual peaceful hour in Brent. It was indeed that quiet that the instant my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The person said: "I only just finished my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my father's Peugeot 207". We instructed him to inform us exactly where the car was situated and we hit the road, getting to him in Cricklewood no more than 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he said many thanks for coming out so quickly. While we were returning home we found two girls on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. As a result we got out 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 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.
