The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Greenwich we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not knowing how to work with it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And most certainly never crank the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SE18 Postcode - Plumstead Common Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a gloomy Bank Holiday Monday and I was off to help an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel pristine Peugeot 508 in Plumstead Common. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was stranded along a country lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a short while back after my old one, which I had owned for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Greenwich lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Plumstead Common

I am certainly not overly hot for doing work weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd just left the family filled with a tasty roast cooked by the missus, and I was on my way to deal with a man after he put the incorrect fuel in his matte black Ford Taurus. He was stationed in Plumstead Common and so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I arrived behind the car and got out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on stuff and did not grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought on any harm as a result of running it?" I revealed there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I would personally remove the fuel quickly. It goes without saying that I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and thus one more pleased customer could continue their ride without any subsequent bother. The guy could not stop thanking me, and that is what can make working on weekends in Greenwich just that little bit less painful for me personally!

A gentleman contacted us from his matte black Fiat Uno after he had ground to a halt on the hectic street. "I accidentally put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and I shortly realised it a few miles down the road!" Happily we were in a position to have an fuel drainer out to him in a reasonably short time, considering the congestion, and he was shortly back behind the wheel.

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.
