The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around East Sussex we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly do not start up the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BN8 Postcode - Little Norlington Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel mum's Audi A8 in Little Norlington. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a rural road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I arrived at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing it she explained, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel because I had only just bought it a week back because my other one, which I had owned for more than thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a precious East Sussex lady!

I had a perfect evening golfing during my off day and was feeling contented the next day as I set off to aid a new couple away in Little Norlington. They stopped after inserting diesel into their sunflower yellow Mitsubishi, and were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife telling her partner off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this problem takes place frequently in East Sussex and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he all the same had an earful. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove away I shouted good-bye and wondered what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!

We did a wrong fuel retrieval exercise on the drive of a lovely residential home in Little Norlington a few weeks ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to almost arrive at home when my car stopped." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was fairly late at night, and carried out a fuel drain and cleanse on the son's Peugeot 3008 .

It truly was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 3 in the morning and nobody was stirring. It was quite dead until now, and me and John were sitting around reading a number of old articles. It was a rare calm moment in East Sussex. It was indeed so quiet that when the phone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The customer said: "I just concluded my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in my diesel shiny Hyundai Entourage by mistake". We told him to tell us where he was and we headed out, arriving in Little Norlington half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he said thank you for coming so promptly. While we were going back home we spotted two ladies at the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
