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


AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in case you’ve poured AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s made of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with AdBlue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SO20 Postcode - Houghton Misfueling

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and I was on the way to help an old lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel deep grey BMW 7 Series in Houghton. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station and broken down in a backwater road en route to see her family. I punched the location in the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I'd just got it a short while ago because my old car, which I'd used for in excess of 25 years, eventually died". I got the drain completed and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Hampshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Houghton

Now I'm not necessarily that hot for doing the job Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had only just left home after a fantastic Sunday roast made for me by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman who had filled the wrong petrol in his maroon Peugeot 106. He was stationed in Houghton hence it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up right behind the car and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my attention on other things and failed to grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused some problems as a result of starting it?" I said generally there shouldn't be damage and also I'd drain the contaminated fuel at once. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus one more pleased client was able to continue on his traveling without the need for bother. The man did not stop thanking me, and this is actually what tends to make working on weekends in Hampshire that little bit easier to me!

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.
