In due time we received the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Hammer and put petrol in her diesel navy blue Isuzu Impulse lease car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly agitated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately often happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over West Sussex we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never start the car - not even to move it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

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

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hammer

I'm not necessarily very excited about running weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just left the family after having a magnificent dinner made by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a fellow who put the incorrect fuel in his rugged Audi RS 6. He was stationed in Hammer so it wasn't long before I got to him. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on stuff and failed to perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I caused harm simply by running it?" I determined there should not be any kind of harm and also that I'd drain the contaminated fuel immediately. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and so another happy customer could continue on his ride without the need for fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in West Sussex that little bit easier in my opinion!

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.
