The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Waltham Forest we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In case you did start the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DA14 Postcode - Ruxley Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and we were on my way to help an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel father's Dodge Colt in Ruxley. I had been advised she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a country road on the way to visit her godchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was working she said to me, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had just bought it a few days ago right after my old one, which I'd owned for about thirty years, eventually died". I finished the job and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Waltham Forest lady!

I am not ever so hot for doing work Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had just come away from home after a superb Sunday roast made by the wife, and I was off to help a gentleman who had filled the incorrect fuel in his sombre grey Audi 4000CS Quattro. He was located in Ruxley so I was with him before long. As I pulled up behind the car and got out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on other considerations and failed to grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I inflicted any kind of problems simply by starting it?" I revealed truth be told there should not be any kind of problems and also I would personally get the fuel drained quickly. Needless to say I removed the fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and then one more contented client was able to continue their ride with no fuss. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this tends to make earning a living on weekends in Waltham Forest a little 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 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.
