The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not knowing the way to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

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

Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

A young lady from Shacklecross with a full car of kids in her diesel navy blue Volkswagen Tiguan had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the petrol station. She contacted us weeping and really distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We assured her that everything should be alright and that she would be up and running soon. When we got there she was visible distressed but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined.

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.
