The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Oxfordshire we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And obviously never start the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Wigginton Heath

Now I am not actually overly excited about running on Sundays, and last week was the same. I had just come away from home after a superb roast made for us by the wife, and I was en route to assist a fellow who had put the incorrect petrol in his Ferarri red Vauxhall Movano. He was somewhere in Wigginton Heath hence it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on damage because of driving it?" I determined truth be told there should not be any harm and that also I'd get the wrong fuel drained right away. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and so one more happy client could continue their ride with no hassle. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and that is what makes working on Sundays in Oxfordshire just that tiny bit better in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Wigginton Heath - Fuel Rescue Wigginton Heath

A driver from Wigginton Heath with a full car of kids in her diesel buff Mazda MX-5 had put £50 of petrol at the Tesco petrol station. She contacted us crying and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what would happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that everything should be fine and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived she was still upset but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children on board."

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.
