The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Tyne and Wear we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

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 VA 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.
