The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Lancashire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you have started the car you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If perhaps you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PR4 Postcode - Tardy Gate Misfueling

Just had a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Saturday and we were en route to help an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel classic Land Rover Range Rover Evoque in Tardy Gate. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a rural road en route to see her family. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was working she explained, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I had only acquired it a few days ago because my other car, which I had owned for about 30 years, finally died on me". I finished the job and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Lancashire lady!

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.
