The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Northamptonshire we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely never switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Grafton Regis - Fuel Rescue Grafton Regis

A lady from Grafton Regis with her little ones in her diesel mustard yellow Cadillac DeVille had put £45 of petrol at the Co Op service station. She phoned us weeping and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that everything would be alright and that she would be back ready to go soon. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the children in the back."

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.
