The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Hertfordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

AdBlue Contamination

In Hertfordshire we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people not being aware of the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Whenever you get in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
