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


AdBlue Contamination

All around Suffolk we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers being unsure of how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

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

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely don't turn over the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you have started the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Should you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
