The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Barkby (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the common problems which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Leicestershire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course take care not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the technical expertise and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Barkby - Wrong Fuel in Car Barkby

I had enjoyed a perfect evening fishing during my afternoon off and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I set off to assist a new family vacationing in Barkby. They had stopped after adding petrol in their bright red Jaguar XJ, and they were around half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smiled as I heard to the wife telling her husband off for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this happens on daily basis in Leicestershire and that it's in reality nothing to be concerned about, even so he still got an earful. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Barkby

I'm not ever too inclined to running Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just left home after having a lovely roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was off to deal with a fellow after he had filled the wrong petrol in his cyan Isuzu i-370. He was somewhere in Barkby so I arrived there very quickly. As I pulled up at the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my concentration on stuff and failed to perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on some damage because of running it?" I revealed that truth be told there probably should not be any kind of damage and also that I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel immediately for him. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and so another happy customer was able to carry on with his journey without any subsequent bother. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what tends to make earning a living on weekends in Leicestershire just a tiny bit less painful for me personally!

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.
