The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Northumberland we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

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

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If perhaps you get in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car Ridley Stokoe

Now I am not necessarily that hot for running on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just left home after a lovely Sunday roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was off to deal with a guy after he filled the wrong petrol in his bright white BMW Alpina B7. He was stationed in Ridley Stokoe thus I was with him rapidly. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on other stuff and did not realise I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I caused any harm as a result of starting it?" I determined that truth be told there shouldn't be any damage and also that I would get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and another content client had the ability to continue their ride with no bother. The gentleman could hardly stop thanking me, and that can make operating on Sundays in Northumberland that little better for me!

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.
