The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Cheshire we have seen an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And of course never turn over the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Alderley Edge - Wrong Fuel in Car Alderley Edge

I had appreciated a great day hiking during my off day and was feeling delighted the following working day as I set out to help a new family on holiday in Alderley Edge. They had stopped after putting petrol into their grey Audi S8, and they were about half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked as I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for being so stupid. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this happens frequently in Cheshire and that it's truly nothing at all to get worried about, however he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyhow, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted good bye and considered what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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.
