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


AdBlue Contamination

All over Lincolnshire we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Phone us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Tuesday and we were en route to assist an elder lady after she had put petrol in her diesel mom's Peugeot 104 in Wellow. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down in a backwater road on the way to visit her family. I punched the location into the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing it she said, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I had only just bought it a short while back right after my former car, which I had had for in excess of 30 years, inevitably broke down". I got the job completed and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Lincolnshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Wellow

Now I am certainly not that excited about working on weekends, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the family filled with a fantastic lunch prepared for me by the wife, and I was off to help a gentleman because he put the incorrect petrol in his apricot Seat Leon. He was stationed in Wellow thus it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I drove up at the car and got out he explained to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my concentration on other considerations and did not grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I created problems as a result of running it?" I said generally there probably should not be damage and that also I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained right away for him. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and yet another pleased client had the ability to carry on with his traveling without any subsequent fuss. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what tends to make operating on weekends in Lincolnshire that little bit easier for me personally!

Well-known Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

The following is a list of general wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Loss in vehicle power
  • Engine dying, stuttering or coughing
  • Problems starting the motor
  • Excessive fumes

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.
