The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Shropshire we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

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

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Whenever you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical skills and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SY4 Postcode - Hopton Misfueling

What a good night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and we were off to help an elder woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel well worn Daewoo Nubira in Hopton. She informed us that she had left the filling station and stranded along a rural road en route to visit her family. I plugged the location into the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I got to the location and drained the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing it she explained, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd only just bought it several days ago after my other one, which I'd had for in excess of 30 years, finally stopped working". I got the drain done and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Shropshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hopton

Now I am not necessarily excessively inclined to running on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had only just come away from home filled with a fantastic dinner cooked for us by the wife, and I was on the way to help a fellow because he filled the incorrect petrol in his yellow VW Scirocco. He was only in Hopton hence I was with him almost immediately. As I pulled up right behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my mind on stuff and did not ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted damage by simply starting it?" I explained there should not be any harm and also that I would personally remove the fuel quickly. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and so another delighted customer had the ability to continue their trip without the need for difficulty. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is what tends to make working on Sundays in Shropshire that little less painful for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hopton - Fuel Rescue Hopton

A driver from Hopton with her little ones in her diesel dark blue Honda Civic had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She called us sobbing and really upset as she had never wrong fueled previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that the vehicle should be okay and that she would be back in action quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the youngsters 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.

Ordinary Misfueling Symptoms:
