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


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Norfolk we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly don't turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

If perhaps you end up in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts have the specialised competence and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and I was off to assist an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel bright red BMW 5 Series in Lower Green. I'd been told she drove away from the petrol station and broken down along a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and got there within an hour. I got to the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she said, "I'm getting quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I had only just purchased it several days ago right after my previous one, which I had had for in excess of thirty years, finally died on me". I got the job done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Norfolk woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Green

Now I am certainly not excessively inclined to working on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just departed home after eating a superb Sunday roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow who filled the wrong fuel in his metallic blue Citron Zara. He was only in Lower Green thus it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. As I drove up at the rear of the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my mind on other things and did not perceive I have put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about some problems simply by driving it?" I said generally there probably should not be harm and that also I would drain the fuel at once for him. As expected I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and then another delighted client could continue his journey without any difficulty. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what makes working on Sundays in Norfolk that little bit less painful for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lower Green - Fuel Rescue Lower Green

A driver from Lower Green with a full car of children in her diesel green Volkswagen Eos had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the Tesco petrol station. She phoned us weeping and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and didn't know what might happen to her car because of it. We told her that all would be ok and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the children on board."

Likely Petrol in Diesel Signs and symptoms:

Following is a list of common wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Lack of vehicle power

  • Excessive smoke

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.
