The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Wiltshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Wiltshire we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously don't start the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Elm Cross

Now I'm not necessarily so keen on doing the job Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had just departed the family after a tasty dinner cooked by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a man who had put the wrong petrol in his white Peugeot 406. He was only in Elm Cross and so I arrived there quickly. As I pulled up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on something else and didn't ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted harm by driving it?" I revealed truth be told there probably should not be any harm and that I'd remove the wrong fuel immediately for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and yet another contented customer was able to continue on their ride without the bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that helps make working on Sundays in Wiltshire just that tiny bit easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Elm Cross - Fuel Rescue Elm Cross

A woman from Elm Cross with a full car of youngsters in her diesel modified Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the service station. She phoned us weeping and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that everything should be alright and that she would be in action soon. When we got there she was still upset but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the youngsters in the back."

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.
