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


AdBlue In Diesel

In Southwark we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And of course never switch on the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in EC2P Postcode - Bowring Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Monday and I was off to assist an old woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel deep grey Jeep Commander in Bowring. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded along a rural road along the way to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I got to the destination and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it several days ago right after my other one, which I owned for more than twenty years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a lovely Southwark woman!

Consequently, in case you've topped up your petrol car with the wrong fuel, or petrol in your diesel car somewhere in Southwark, call us right away. Our qualified technicians are ready for your call.

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.
