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


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Suffolk we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never start the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

This was an unsociable time to be up. It was close to 3:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was around.

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.
