The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over County Durham we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

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

Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you have started the car you may likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

This was what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about 3am and almost noone was stirring. It had become quite quiet up to now, and me and Mark were sitting perusing several old magazines. That was a rare tranquil hour in County Durham. It was so quiet that when the telephone eventually rang I jumped! The person said: "I've just concluded my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in a diesel customised Chrysler PT Cruiser by mistake". I told him to let us know just where he was and we left, arriving in Witton-le-Wear only an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He said thank you for coming out so fast. As we were going back to the office we noticed two young ladies on the side of the street who seemed to have a flat. As a result we stopped to help them change it, much 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.
