The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Cheshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to start the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

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.
