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


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In County Durham we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out right away. And most certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If perhaps you get in this predicament don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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 VA 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.
