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


AdBlue Contamination

All around East Sussex we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely never switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a warm Monday and we were on the way to help an older sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel khaki green Porsche Cayman in Five Ash Down. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and stranded in a rural lane en route to visit her family. I plugged her location into the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she said, "I am becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I had only acquired it a couple of days back because my other car, which I had had for over 25 years, inevitably died". I got the drain done and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. Such a lovely East Sussex 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.
