The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not understanding how to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course do not start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If you have started the car you may likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Should you find yourself in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no 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.
