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


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Warwickshire we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people not understanding how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely don't turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

If you end up in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised skills and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CV10 Postcode - Oldbury Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and I was on my way to assist an elder sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel khaki green Cadillac XLR-V in Oldbury. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up in a country lane en route to see her godchildren. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I turned up at the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I have been getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it several days ago when my previous car, which I used for in excess of 30 years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Warwickshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Oldbury

Now I'm certainly not overly excited about running on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd only just come away from the family filled with a magnificent dinner cooked for me by the missus, and I was on my way to deal with a man who filled the wrong fuel in his pristine Jaguar S-Type. He was situated in Oldbury therefore I arrived there almost immediately. As I drove up right behind the car and stepped out he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other things and failed to grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created some damage through starting it?" I determined generally there shouldn't be any kind of harm and that also I'd get the fuel drained at once for him. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and so one more contented motorist was able to continue his trip without the hassle. He did not stop thanking me, and this is actually what helps make working on weekends in Warwickshire that tiny bit less painful to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Oldbury - Fuel Rescue Oldbury

A woman from Oldbury with a full car of kids in her diesel cream Mitsubishi Expo had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the Shell filling station. She called us crying and extremely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that the car would be alright and that she would be back in action very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the little ones in the back."

Ordinary Misfueling Warning signs:

This is a list of ordinary wrong fuel signs and symptoms:

  • Loss in vehicle power
  • Vehicle stalling, spluttering and / or coughing
  • Difficulties starting the car
  • Abnormal 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 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.
