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


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Northamptonshire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course never crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Whenever you find yourself in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical skills and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE8 Postcode - Wadenhoe Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and I was on my way to assist an old sweetheart who put the wrong fuel in her diesel classic Volkswagen Touareg in Wadenhoe. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was pulled up along a country road on the way to see her family. I punched her location straight into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I reached the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd just got it several days ago because my previous car, which I had used for more than thirty years, eventually stopped working". I completed the job and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Northamptonshire lady!

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 VAT 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.
