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


AdBlue Contamination

All over Lincolnshire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not being totally sure how to work with it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

This really was the night shift. It was roughly 3:30 in the morning and noone was stirring. It had been rather dead so far, and Paul and I were relaxing perusing a couple of old articles. This was a rare quiet time in Lincolnshire. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that the instant the telephone rang it made me jump! The voice told me: "I only just finished my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in a uncle's Lexus RX". We instructed him to inform us where exactly he was and we hit the road, reaching him in Thimbleby half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us for getting there so fast. As we were going back to the depot we saw two girls on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out to change it, much to their delight.

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 VA 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.
