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


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Leicestershire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't start up the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Give us a call if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
  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.
