It was around 9 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were sitting there talking about the footy rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Carlin How and put petrol in a diesel spotless Toyota Highlander rental in error. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this sadly can happen.

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


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout North Yorkshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not being totally sure how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly never crank the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If perhaps you end up in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical know-how and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
