The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around West Sussex we have identified an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Whenever you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
