The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Derbyshire we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people not being totally sure how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly do not switch on the car - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

This really was the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3am and hardly anyone was about. It had become fairly dead so far, and me and Brian were relaxing looking at a few old papers. That was an uncommon tranquil moment in Derbyshire. It was indeed so calm that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me start! The voice on the other end stated: "I have just completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my customised Cadillac Escalade". I instructed him to let us know just where the vehicle was located and we headed out, ending up in Hallam Fields only an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he thanked us profusely for coming so quickly. While we were going back to base we noticed two girls on the side of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we stopped to 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 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.
