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


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout County Durham we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

In case you end up in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

I'm not that enthusiastic about doing the job Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after eating a tasty lunch made by the better half, and I was on the way to help a guy who had put the incorrect fuel in his modern Ford Transit. He was somewhere in Greenhill and so I was with him very quickly. Just as I arrived behind the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my attention on something else and failed to realise I've put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused some damage as a result of starting it?" I determined truth be told there probably should not be any problems and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and another satisfied client had the ability to carry on with their journey without any hassle. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in County Durham a little better for me personally!

This was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become quite uneventful up to now, and me and Paul were loafing about looking through a few old articles. This was a rare quiet hour in County Durham. Actually it was in fact that quiet that the instant my mobile finally rang I leaped with surprise! The customer told me: "I have finished my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in the mint condition Toyota Prius in error". I asked him to let us know where exactly the car was situated and we headed out, arriving in Greenhill no more than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the car and he said thanks for coming so fast. While we were coming back home we saw two young ladies on the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to change it, to their delight.

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.
