The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course never crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Should you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was the night shift. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become fairly quiet up to now, and me and Paul were loafing browsing a few old newspapers. It was a rare tranquil moment in Cambridgeshire. It was in fact that quiet that when the telephone rang it made me jump! The motorist on the other end explained: "I have only just concluded my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a mustard yellow Volvo850". We told him to inform us exactly where he was located and we hit the road, ending up in Ellington under 30 minutes later. The fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us for coming out so promptly. While we were heading back home we found two girls on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat. So we got out to change it, much to their elation.

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.
