The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we have discovered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never start up the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

It truly was what is called the graveyard shift. It was about 2am and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become pretty quiet thus far, and Ryan and I were loafing about looking at a couple of old articles. It was an uncommon calm time in Lancashire. It was that relaxing that the moment my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The customer on the phone told me: "I have only just ended my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in my dark red Mercedes-Benz C-Class by mistake". We told him to inform us where exactly the car was located and we set off, ending up in Lathom no more than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he said thank you for showing up so fast. As we were going back to base we saw two young women on the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. As a result we got out to change it, to their elation.

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.
