The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course don't turn over the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
