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


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Northumberland we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely never turn over the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Whenever you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical know-how and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
