The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Surrey we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never crank the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Should you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

I had appreciated a great day fishing on my holiday and was feeling contented the next morning as I set out to aid a new family vacationing in Hindhead. They stopped after inserting diesel into their mom's Honda Civic Si, and were about an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smiled while I heard to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass everyday in Surrey and that it's nothing at all to worry about, even so he yet still had his ear bent by his better half. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyways, I drained all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted goodbye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

This really was the night shift. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It was rather dead so far, and me and John were loafing about looking through a couple of old papers. That was an uncommon tranquil time in Surrey. Actually it was that peaceful that when the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The person said: "I completed my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my mustard yellow Kia Carens by mistake". We asked him to let us know where exactly the car was located and we left, ending up in Hindhead no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He said thank you for arriving so rapidly. As we were returning home we saw two women at the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result we got out to change it, to their delight.

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.
