The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Berkshire we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

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.
