The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Staffordshire we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by people being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Phone us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Sunday and I was on the way to assist an older lovely lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Citron C4 in Bromley Wood. I'd been advised she had driven away from the filling station and pulled up on a backwater road along the way to see her godchildren. I popped her location into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I got to the destination and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. While I was working she told me, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel seeing that I had only just purchased it a short while back after my former one, which I used for more than 30 years, eventually stopped working". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Staffordshire woman!

I had a fantastic evening fishing on my day off and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I set out to help a young family who were on vacation in Bromley Wood. They'd pulled over after putting petrol in their spotless Vauxhall Corsa, and they were roughly an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked as I listened to the lady telling off her partner for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this problem takes place continuously in Staffordshire and that it is nothing to worry about, but he in spite of everything had an earful. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

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 VAT 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.
