The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Westminster we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

I popped her location straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle.

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.
