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


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Northumberland we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely do not crank the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Should you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
