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


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Oxfordshire we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And of course do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Burcot - Wrong Fuel in Car Burcot

I'd had a fantastic day hiking on my holiday and felt contented the next working day as I headed out to assist a young couple on vacation in Burcot. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their sunflower yellow Peugeot 406, and were roughly half an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked as I listened to the woman telling her man off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Oxfordshire and that it is nothing to worry about, and yet he still had an earful. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Burcot

We were phoned by a man whose daughter's Kia Sorento had ground to a halt on a street after a misfuel. "I got the pumps mixed up and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my vehicle by mistake. You guys came out and resolved the matter after my car stopped." We drained the petrol from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel system completely afterwards and the motorist could proceed with his scheduled delivery.

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was close to 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had become rather quiet so far, and John and I were sitting about looking through some old magazines. It was an uncommon calm time in Oxfordshire. It was indeed so quiet that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The voice stated: "I have only just finished my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel racing green Ford Club Wagon". We got him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we set off, getting to him in Burcot no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned from the car and he thanked us profusely for coming so rapidly. While we were coming back to the depot we found two women at the side of the street who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we got out and helped them change it, much 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 VAT receipt.

  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.
