The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Derbyshire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not start the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

In the event that you get in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have the technical competence and experience to get you back on the road promptly 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 VAT 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.
