The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Northumberland we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
