The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

In North Yorkshire we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course never turn over the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

This was exactly what is called the night shift. It was around sunrise and almost noone was about. It was quite dead up to now, and Ryan and I were sitting around perusing a few old newspapers. That was a rare quiet hour in North Yorkshire. Actually it was that calm that the moment my mobile rang it made me jump! The motorist told me: "I only just concluded my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel boss' VW Eos in error". We got him to tell us where the car was located and we left, reaching him in Croft-on-Tees an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the engine and he said thanks a lot for coming out so rapidly. While we were returning to the office we spotted two young ladies on the side of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we pulled up to help them change it, 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.
