The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Lincolnshire we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not knowing how to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely never start the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

If perhaps you end up in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the technical competence and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DN37 Postcode - Aylesby Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a warm Saturday and I was on the way to help an old lady who had put petrol in her diesel brother's Ford Fusion in Aylesby. I'd been informed she had left the filling station and pulled up along a rural lane on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged the location into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd just acquired it a short while ago right after my old car, which I had had for over 30 years, finally broke down". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Lincolnshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Aylesby

Now I am not actually too hot for carrying out work Sundays, and a while back was the same. I'd just left home filled with a fantastic roast made for me by the missus, and I was off to deal with a gentleman after he put the incorrect fuel in his beautiful Hyundai Elantra. He was only in Aylesby so it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I drove up behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I had my mind on stuff and failed to ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused any harm by simply running it?" I explained that there probably should not be any kind of harm and that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained immediately for him. As expected I drained the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and one more happy customer was able to continue their journey without the difficulty. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Lincolnshire a tiny bit better in my opinion!

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.
