The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!

Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car. They will take care of any of the common problems which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Shropshire we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. If you did start the car you will likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
