The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over County Durham we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not start the car - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Should you end up in this predicament don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the specialised know-how and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
