The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Derbyshire we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely don't start up the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you get in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical skills and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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:

    • 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.

  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.
