The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Staffordshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely don't turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hansley Cross - Wrong Fuel in Car Hansley Cross

I had enjoyed a perfect day hiking on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next morning as I set off to assist a young family who were holidaying in Hansley Cross. They conked out after adding diesel in their sky blue BMW 600, and they were about half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this happens all the time in Staffordshire and that it's nothing at all to stress about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed bon voyage and considered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hansley Cross

I am certainly not very enthusiastic about doing the job on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd just departed the wife and kids after eating a fantastic dinner made for us by the missus, and I was on my way to help a guy after he had put the incorrect petrol in his mom's Peugeot 207. He was somewhere in Hansley Cross thus I was with him almost immediately. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my attention on other stuff and didn't realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I caused any kind of problems through running it?" I revealed generally there shouldn't be any problems and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained immediately for him. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and then another happy motorist was able to carry on with their journey without the need for difficulty. He could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Staffordshire just a tiny bit better for me personally!

A customer from Hansley Cross with her little ones in her diesel cyan BMW Z4 M Roadster had filled her car with £45 of petrol at the Shell filling station.

The following is a list of typical wrong fuel signs and symptoms:

  • Losing engine power
  • Car conking out, stuttering or even coughing
  • Trouble starting the engine
  • Abnormal fumes

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.
