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


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Cambridgeshire we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
