The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in DL13 Postcode - Copley Misfueling

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and I was on my way to help an old woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel dark blue Mercedes C-Class in Copley. I'd been advised she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and stranded along a backwater lane en route to see her godchildren. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel since I'd just purchased it a short while back because my previous one, which I'd had for in excess of 25 years, inevitably died on me". I completed the job and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful County Durham woman!

It truly was an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to dawn and noone was about. It had been pretty dead up to now, and Brian and I were loafing about reading a couple of old papers. This was an unusual restful moment in County Durham. It was indeed so quiet that the instant the telephone rang it made me jump! The person explained: "I just finished my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in my trusty Mitsubishi 3000GT by mistake". We got him to tell us where the car was located and we set off, arriving in Copley only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming so quickly. While we were returning home we spotted two young ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

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.
