The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Bexley we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

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

Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And of course never start the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

In case you discover yourself to be in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the practical expertise and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no 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 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.
