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


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Leicestershire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not understanding how to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Tuesday and I was on my way to help an old lady who put petrol in her diesel son's Nissan Maxima in Market Harborough. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was pulled up in a country road en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the work she told me, "I have been becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only got it a couple of days back right after my former car, which I had used for in excess of twenty years, finally died". I finished the drain and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Leicestershire 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 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.
