The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Norfolk we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely don't start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road quickly 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.
