The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout County Durham we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course don't turn over the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised skills and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
