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


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Bromley we have seen increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

A rather alarmed driver called us from the Esso filling station at Bromley to advise us that he had put unleaded in his diesel bright white Audi S4; he wasn't entirely sure how he'd done it. We explained to him it was no hassle and soon enough had our engineer out to him to drain the incorrect fuel from his car. Having extracted the wrong fuel, he was shortly back behind the wheel. He told us; "I am genuinely surprised I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the man who came out to take care of the fuel drain was very fantastic - he didn't make me look silly."

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.
