The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Should you discover yourself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way quickly 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:

  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.

  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.
