The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Cheshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cheshire we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Shotwick

Now I'm not ever that keen on doing the job on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had just left home after a magnificent roast cooked for us by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow who had put the incorrect fuel in his mint condition Jaguar XJ. He was only in Shotwick hence I was there before long. As I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he told me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on other things and didn't perceive I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused some harm by starting it?" I stated truth be told there should not be any harm and also I'd personally drain the wrong fuel immediately for him. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and so one more satisfied motorist could carry on with his journey with no difficulty. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what can make operating on Sundays in Cheshire just a small bit easier to me!

A lady employed in Shotwick contacted us shortly after she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to her office. She had put petrol in her diesel khaki green BMW 1 Series and, like plenty prior to her, thought that she would be able to just top up her car with diesel and it would run alright. The vehicle was coughing and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired in 60 minutes while she was working. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely glad you repaired my vehicle."

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.
