The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And most certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In the event that you find yourself in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the technical competence and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
