The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container laying in the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

AdBlue Contamination

In Berkshire we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

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

As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course take care not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

If you get in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical know-how and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Harmans Water

Now I am not ever so inclined to carrying out work on weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd just departed the family after a superb roast prepared by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a man after he had filled the wrong fuel in his boss' Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG. He was located in Harmans Water therefore I arrived with him almost immediately. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and did not ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I created any kind of damage simply by driving it?" I explained that generally there should not be any harm and also that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. It goes without saying that I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and another happy motorist could continue on his journey without the difficulty. He did not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what makes working on weekends in Berkshire just that tiny bit better 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.
