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


Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Cottenham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your car. They are also able to deal with any of the normal issues that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely do not crank the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Any time you get in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CB24 Postcode - Cottenham Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Saturday and we were off to help an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel bright white VW GLI in Cottenham. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded in a backwater road on route to see her grandchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had only bought it a short while ago because my other car, which I had had for in excess of thirty years, finally broke down". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Cambridgeshire woman!

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.
