The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Suffolk we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously do not switch on the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of every type 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.
