The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Should you get in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the specialised skills and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DL13 Postcode - Rookhope Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Sunday and we were off to assist an old lovely lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel mint green BMW 7 Series in Rookhope. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a backwater lane on route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I got to the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I had only got it a couple of days back because my former car, which I had owned for more than thirty years, finally stopped working". I finished the job and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant County Durham lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Rookhope

Now I am not that keen on doing the job Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd just left home after a magnificent lunch prepared by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a man who had filled the incorrect petrol in his light blue BMW 745. He was only in Rookhope hence it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other things and failed to ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about harm by simply running it?" I determined generally there should not be any damage and also I'd personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with the suitable fuel, and so one more contented customer could continue his ride with no hassle. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that makes earning a living on Sundays in County Durham just a small bit less painful for me personally!

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.
