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


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Redbridge we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers being unsure of how to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

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

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

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.
