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


AdBlue Contamination

All over Greater Manchester we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

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 VA 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.
