The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Derbyshire we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the car you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

In the event that you get in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical skills and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Glossop - Wrong Fuel in Car Glossop

I appreciated a perfect evening hiking during the weekend and was feeling pleased the following working day as I set off to help a new couple away in Glossop. They had broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their silver Volvo V70, and they were about half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling her partner off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation takes place on daily basis in Derbyshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove away I mouthed so long and thought about what my wife would ask me if I made the same error... I'd personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Glossop

Now I am not that hot for doing the job Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just come away from home after a wonderful roast made for us by the missus, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman because he put the wrong petrol in his metallic grey Peugeot 405. He was somewhere in Glossop and so it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise God! I had my thoughts on stuff and did not grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on any kind of damage through running it?" I determined that there should not be any kind of harm and also that I would remove the fuel as quickly as possible for him. Needless to say I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and so another happy client was able to carry on with his trip without any subsequent fuss. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Derbyshire that little bit less painful to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Glossop - Fuel Rescue Glossop

A motorist driving in Glossop phoned us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel uncle's Renault and, like plenty prior to her, assumed that she would be able to basically top up the car with diesel and it'd run okay. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed inside 60 minutes whilst she was at work. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm really happy 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.
