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


AdBlue Contamination

All over West Sussex we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And most certainly do not start up the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you get in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the specialised competence and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Fernhill - Wrong Fuel in Car Fernhill

I enjoyed a perfect day hiking during my afternoon off and was feeling pleased with myself the next morning as I set off to assist a new couple on vacation in Fernhill. They had stopped after filling diesel in their wife's Cadillac Fleetwood, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal telling off her partner for being so confused. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this goes on constantly in West Sussex and that it's truly nothing to fret about, nevertheless he all the same had an earful by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I drained all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

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.
