The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Shropshire we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being aware of how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course do not turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle every type 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.

  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.
