The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Norfolk we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not understanding how to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously be careful not to start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was about 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It was quite uneventful so far, and me and Brian were relaxing reading through several old articles. That was a rare tranquil moment in Norfolk. It was indeed so quiet that when my mobile eventually rang I jumped! The voice said: "I have just completed my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel classic Cadillac Sixty Special in error". I asked him to inform us just where the car was situated and we set off, arriving in Mile Cross no more than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the engine. He thanked us profusely for coming out so promptly. As we were coming back to the depot we found two young women on the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we got out and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
