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


AdBlue Contamination

All around Oxfordshire we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being aware of how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to start the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to every type of AdBlue liquid 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 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.
