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


Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Bedfordshire we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

In the event that you get in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the specialised competence and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

We assured her that everything should be fine and that she would be in action very quickly.

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.
