The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Derbyshire we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

In the event that you end up in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the practical competence and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We not too long ago got a phone call about a man who had put the incorrect fuel in his customised Volkswagen Golf III in Hope. He had ground to a halt on the street. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't realize the dilemma up until I stopped working. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and got it working again. I was happy by both your call-out time and your value for money". Of course we arrived on the scene punctually and flushed the engine after draining all the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank.

This was exactly the night shift. It was around 2am and noone was stirring. It was pretty dead until now, and Ray and I were loafing about browsing a few old magazines. That was an unusual tranquil moment in Derbyshire. Actually it was so relaxing that the moment my mobile eventually rang I jumped! The voice stated: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in the diesel light blue Toyota Solara". I instructed him to inform us just where the car was located and we set off, arriving in Hope less than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for coming so promptly. While we were returning home we spotted two women on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we got out and helped them change it, 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.
