The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lincolnshire we have discovered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Whenever you find yourself in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
