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


AdBlue Contamination

In North Yorkshire we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If perhaps you end up in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the technical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LS24 Postcode - Towton Misfueling

What a great night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Tuesday and I was off to help an old sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel pristine Land Rover Defender 110 in Towton. She told us that she drove away from the filling station and pulled up on a country lane along the way to visit her family. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel as I had only just got it a few days ago because my previous one, which I had had for in excess of thirty years, eventually died on me". I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a precious North Yorkshire woman!

I wouldn't like grinding to a halt in a vehicle with the wrong fuel halfway down the street.

A young lady from Towton with her little ones in her diesel boss' Nissan Armada had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She contacted us weeping and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that the vehicle would be okay and that she would be back up and running soon. When we got there she was still distressed but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the kids in the back."

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.
