The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Leicestershire we have found more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

In case you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the technical expertise and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
