The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Staffordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Staffordshire we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

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

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in B79 Postcode - The Leys Misfueling

Just had a good night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Saturday and I was en route to assist an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel apple green Honda CR-Z in The Leys. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up in a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I reached the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was working she told me, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd only bought it a short while ago right after my previous one, which I had used for over 25 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Staffordshire lady!

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.
