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


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Suffolk we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And of course don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Stoven - Fuel Rescue Stoven

It truly was what is called the graveyard shift. It was around sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It was pretty uneventful up to now, and me and John were relaxing browsing a couple of old magazines. It was an uncommon quiet hour in Suffolk. It was in fact so tranquil that when the phone eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The voice said: "I have only just ended my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in the apricot Smart Forfour by mistake". I asked him to inform us where he was situated and we headed out, ending up in Stoven less than 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said thanks for getting there so promptly. As we were going back home we found two young ladies on the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled over to change it, to their elation.

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.
