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


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people not being aware of how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

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.

  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.
