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


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Greenwich we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

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

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously take care not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

It was 7:00 am on a bright Saturday and we were en route to help an old lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel silver Audi A7 in Hackney. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded in a backwater road on route to pay a visit to her family.

I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a pleasant Greenwich lady!

I emerged at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place regularly in Greenwich and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, nonetheless he still got his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyways, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hackney

I am not actually excessively interested in carrying out work weekends, and a while back was the same. I'd just left the family after a fantastic lunch made for us by the missus, and I was on the way to help a fellow who put the wrong fuel in his creamy white Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class. He was located in Hackney so it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on something else and did not realise I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought on some damage by simply driving it?" I revealed that truth be told there should not be any kind of damage and also that I'd personally drain the fuel right away. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and thus another delighted motorist had the ability to carry on with his journey without difficulty. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is what can make working on weekends in Greenwich just a tiny bit easier to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hackney - Fuel Rescue Hackney

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about sunrise and noone was about. It had become fairly uneventful thus far, and me and John were loafing looking at some old papers. This was an unusual quiet hour in Greenwich. It was indeed so tranquil that when the phone ultimately rang I leaped! The motorist on the phone said: "I've only just finished my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel grey Renault Twingo by mistake". I instructed him to tell us exactly where he was and we headed out, getting to him in Hackney not as much as 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleared from the motor and he said thanks for showing up so quickly. While we were coming back to base we noticed two young women at the side of the street who looked like they had a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over to change it, 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.
